Idaho delivers some long-term services and supports through 2 managed care plans in Idaho Medicaid Plus (IMPlus) and Medicare Medicaid Coordinated Plan (MMCP), for dual eligibles, and pays for the rest fee-for-service. Idaho uses managed care for long-term services only for dual eligible adults, through Idaho Medicaid Plus and the voluntary Medicare Medicaid Coordinated Plan. Both are run by Molina Healthcare of Idaho and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Idaho, which joined the MMCP on January 1, 2026. For Medicaid-only clients on the Aged and Disabled waiver or state plan personal care, agencies enroll directly with Idaho Medicaid. Developmental disability services stay with Idaho Medicaid.
IMPlus is mandatory for dual eligibles not in the MMCP in 34 listed counties (including Ada, Canyon, Bannock, Bonneville, Kootenai and Twin Falls). The MMCP is voluntary and offered in many counties.
For the programs that pay for home care, see Idaho Medicaid waivers.
Idaho has been studying a broader move to Medicaid managed care; check with the Department of Health and Welfare for changes.
