Independent advocates seek answers about Medicaid experiment

The Medicaid Study Group, a collaboration of CT independent consumer advocates, sent a list of critical questions about PCMH+ to DSS yesterday. PCMH+ is Medicaid’s controversial new payment experiment affecting over 100,000 people and scheduled for a massive expansion next year. Advocates have submitted questions in writing because we have not been able to ask questions of DSS at Medicaid Council meetings.  The questions address concerns with the lack of program evaluation, care management, funding, quality improvement, consumer engagement, communications and transparency. The department’s responses are here.
