Introduced
by
To contract out the state's Medicaid health care claims review and payment process to a qualified private firm, but not to Blue Cross Blue Shield; issue a separate contract to ensure that services are properly provided and billed; require prices for services and products (including drugs) be negotiated and set by contract with health care suppliers and vendors; and require that policies and procedures be established which ensure that seniors live at home (rather than in a nursing home) as long as it is feasible and medically prudent.
