Florida moves forward with Medicaid reform
["Medicaid reform moves forward with $12M deal," South Florida Business Journal, 6 July 2006.]
The state of Florida took another step forward in its effort to increase competition and improve quality within its Medicaid program:
Affiliated Computer Services said it has signed a two-year, $12 million contract with Florida's Agency for Health Care Administration.
The Dallas-based health care program administration firm said the deal calls for it to provide choice counseling services in Florida's Medicaid reform.
Among other things, the reform plan calls for participants to choose their own health insurers, which are contracted through the state.
This pilot program is very similar to that proposed for Kansas by Michael Bond in his study for The Flint Hills Center:
