Managed Care Systems Portal

The Managed Care Systems section (MCS) is in the process of creating a portal that will serve as a one-stop shop for all reporting from Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs), Insurance Companies, County Based Purchaser (CBPs) and Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs). This includes network adequacy information, regulatory activities including supplemental annual reporting, updates to licensure documents, and quality assurance examinations.  

The MCS Portal became available in May 2025, and additional functionality will continue to be added through June 2026.

Accessing the Portal

Use the Managed Care System Portal to access MCS services below. 

MCS Portal User Guide (PDF) provides instructions on how to access and use the portal. Last updated May 2025.

Current Portal Functionality

  • Network Adequacy Annual Filings
  • HMO and CPB Annual Supplemental reporting 

In the future, the MCS Portal will allow entities to upload:

  • PBM Network Adequacy documents
  • Network adequacy provider file updates
  • Network adequacy termination reports
  • Updates to HMO licensure documents
  • Quality Assurance exam document and file uploads and exchanges

Frequently Asked Questions 

No, at this time there are no limits to the number of users per entity. MDH will regularly review users associated with each entity, and confer with you to make sure lists are acceptable. 

No, at this time you cannot see files that others uploaded. This functionality may be added in the future. We will use the most recent file that is uploaded. Files uploads will not overwrite other files. 

Yes, you will need to use the network dropdown to upload files for that network. This ensures that the files are all associated with the correct network. 

Each upload box is limited to certain types of files (e.g. PDF, Word, Excel). Some files (such as the provider file) has validation incorporated, which will be verified upon download. All files will be scanned for malware before opening.
