In 1995, Ó£»¨ÊÓÆµ began moving Medicaid beneficiaries from a traditional fee-for-service health coverage program, where providers bill Medicaid directly, to managed care. Under managed care, beneficiaries enroll in a health plan or managed care organization (MCO) which coordinates their members' healthcare and offers special services in addition to the regular NJ FamilyCare Medicaid benefits enrollees receive.

Through managed care, Ó£»¨ÊÓÆµ beneficiaries have better access to healthcare providers and care coordination than they would have through Medicaid's traditional fee-for-service program. Managed care health plans are also able to provide a comprehensive package of preventive health services that, combined with the full range of Medicaid benefits, allows for the best healthcare possible.
