Cardinal Care: Virginia Medicaid, Renamed
Cardinal Care unified Virginia's Medicaid programs under one name. Here is what that means for your home-care benefits.
Virginia combined its Medicaid managed care programs (formerly Medallion and CCC Plus) under a single brand: Cardinal Care. The goal was to simplify the experience for members — not to cut benefits.
Your CCC Plus Waiver care, including consumer-directed services and paid family caregiving, continues under Cardinal Care. If you are unsure how the change affects you, we can help.
