Cardinal Care

Cardinal Care

As of January 1, 2023, Virginia Medicaid members are part of Cardinal Care - a single system of care for all of our 2 million members. Cardinal Care connects members to the care that they need when they need it and reduces transitions between programs as their health care needs evolve. All managed care and fee-for-service Medicaid members are part of the Cardinal Care program. Cardinal Care continues to offer members the same programs and services and does not reduce or change any existing coverage. The Medicaid fee-for-service program will continue to serve newly enrolled members for a short time as well as those with limited health coverage. Members can use their blue-and-white Medicaid ID cards, or green-and-white Plan First ID cards until they receive a Medicaid Fee-for-Service card with the Cardinal Care logo. Both the old and the new cards are accepted by Medicaid providers.

Managed Care

On October 1, 2023, Virginia Medicaid consolidated the two managed care programs of Medallion 4.0 and Commonwealth Coordinated Care Plus (CCC Plus) into Cardinal Care Managed Care (CCMC).

Members in managed care can keep their health plan and do not need to take any action to enroll in Cardinal Care Managed Care. Care coordination will be available to all managed care members, as needed. Health plans issued new Cardinal Care ID cards in 2023.
