AHCA Press Release NYT Medicaid Managed Care Article Yesterday, the New York Times ran a second story critical of Medicaid managed long term care. nytimes/2014/05/09/nyregion/medicaid-shift-fuels-rush-for-profitable-clients.html?hp&_r=0 The article highlights the plan in question focus on enrolling only low cost individuals and dropping those who cost more than the plan is willing to accommodate and how ill equipped the state is to oversee such contracted arrangements. As part of our managed care efforts, we would like to collect similar news stories and compile them at our website. If newspapers in your cities and states run similar stories, please forward them on to our Public Affairs department and Reimbursement and Legal Affairs. We, in turn, will construct an archive of these articles which could be used in advocacy to stop or slow managed care implementation. If you have questions suggestions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. Best Regards, Michael W. Cheek Senior Vice President Reimbursement & Legal Affairs American Health Care Association Email: [email protected] Voice: 202/454/1294 ahca.org
