Medicaid: In 1993 Medicaid implemented a capitated managed care program and is now working to incorporate the ABD population.  The Medicaid Program, (the Med-QUEST Division, (MQD)), will, under a Medicaid Transformation grant, design, develop and implement an electronic health record system targeting EPSDT eligibles (ages 0-20) and adult Aged, Blind, and Disabled who will be transitioned from the current Fee-For-Service (FFS) delivery system to Medicaid managed care. Improve care coordination through the medical home by enabling providers to identify and communicate their needs electronically through the web portal or through electronic interface to QUEST Care Coordinators and FFS contracted agencies. The hallmark of the EPSDT program is the Medical Home concept which is an approach to providing comprehensive primary care, it is logical to extend that infrastructure to support the ABD population.
