FINAL MEDICAID MANAGED CARE RULE ISSUED

A 21st century regulatory framework for managed care under the Medicaid program was issued in today’s edition of the Federal Register in the form of a 1,425-page final rule that will guide the delivery of health care for tens of millions of children and adults. A description of some challenges that will endure for the states is described in a new paper from The Commonwealth Fund.
