Elevance is moving to exit its D.C. Medicaid managed care business and is evaluating additional market withdrawals as Medicaid cost pressure remains elevated, signaling tighter MCO participation and potential network/care-management disruption for state Medicaid VBC arrangements and provider risk contracts (Healthcare Dive). At the same time, implementation concerns around new Medicaid work rules are intensifying, with advocates warning of state administrative burden and coverage losses—raising near-term churn risk for managed care plans, ACO-like Medicaid models, and population health programs that depend on stable enrollment. KFF’s updated dual-eligible analyses underscore why Medicare-Medicaid integration remains strategically central: roughly 12 million dual-eligible individuals account for disproportionate spending, making D-SNP alignment, LTSS management, and cross-payer care coordination critical targets for VBC strategy (KFF).
