States have the option to provide children with 12 months of continuous coverage through Medicaid and CHIP, even if the family experiences a change in income during the year.

1. Because Medicaid beneficiaries may be enrolled concurrently in more than one type of managed care program (e.g., a Comprehensive MCO and a BHO), users should not sum enrollment across all program types, since the total would count individuals more than once and, in some states, exceed the actual number of Medicaid enrollees.

2. Comprehensive MCOs cover acute, primary, and specialty medical care services; they may also cover behavioral health, long-term services and supports, and other benefits in some states. Limited benefit managed care programs, including PCCM, MLTSS only, BHO, Dental, Transportation, and Other cover a narrower set of services.
