About the Value Based Care Virtual Learning Series

This session provides a clear overview of how Medicare Advantage and Managed Medicaid developed and how they operate today. It explains the major MA plan types, including Special Needs Plans (iSNP, i/eSNP, cSNP, dSNP), and the financial and operational factors that influence plan behavior, provider participation, and enrollee decision‑making. The module also covers delegated risk arrangements, state enrollment trends, the rise of “payviders,” and how MA plans approach contracting with ALFs and SNFs. Managed Medicaid is introduced with a focus on dual‑eligible populations and implications for senior living providers.
