Medicaid Managed Care plans and Medicaid providers work with Medicaid enrollees to create a person-centered service system focused on recovery. The goal is to integrate physical and behavioral health to improve health outcomes.

Person-centered means providers listen to the person receiving care, helping them understand their choices. With person-centered care you can be in control of your own life and recovery.
