Delaware's Medicaid Program or CHIP
Summary
SAMHSA webpage describes Delaware's Medicaid program structure requiring beneficiaries to select a primary care provider (PCP) who coordinates care through a Managed Care Organization (MCO). The page directs enrollees to provider directories for mental health and substance use disorder services. CHIP is administered separately. No new policy development, rule, or guidance is announced; this is static beneficiary information.

Does not announce changes to network participation requirements, reimbursement policy, or compliance obligations. Background context for organizations operating in or entering Delaware's Medicaid market, but limited actionable significance.
