  7. Controlling Future Cost Growth: Capabilities of Managed Long-Term Care • Payment structure that drives Managed Care Organizations to continuously improve and provide the most cost-effective care. • Equal access to long-term care services in an individual’s home, community-based settings, or nursing homes, which assures that the level of service matches a member’s needs • Efficiencies from MCO-developed regional and comprehensive provider networks that increase the variety of services available to member at negotiated, competitive rates.

  8. Conclusion • Family Care, and the entitlement of support in homes and community-integrated settings, allows Wisconsin residents to receive cost-effective long-term supports. • Managed long-term care is the most effective strategy to meet the needs of Wisconsin’s residents.
