Summary: In the third paper, I then consider the relative effects of voluntary and mandatory enrollment in a Medicaid MCO on a variety of health care access measures that relate directly to Federal Medicaid regulations for MCO performance. On average, I find that states should not expect a dramatic change in health care access when they implement Medicaid MCOs to deliver care to the adult disabled population. However, continued attention to specialty care access is warranted both for MCO enrollees as well as beneficiaries who select FFS care.
