Medicaid Managed Care (MMC): If you’re a resident of New York State and qualify for Medicaid, you may be eligible for Medicaid Managed Care (MMC). This is a healthcare delivery system in which Medicaid contracts with Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) to deliver and manage your health care services.
