ACAP Report Documents Safety Net Health Plan Chronic Disease Programs
The Association for Community Affiliated Plans released a report on January 15, 2026 documenting chronic disease management initiatives deployed by safety net health plans. The report highlights member-focused programs addressing conditions prevalent in Medicaid and dual eligible populations. Safety net health plans serving Medicaid beneficiaries can review documented approaches and potentially adapt models for their own populations. The report provides examples of operational interventions currently in use across ACAP member organizations.
Why it mattersSafety net health plans manage disproportionate shares of Medicaid members with chronic conditions, and documented care management models offer replicable approaches to improve outcomes and manage medical costs.
