The second annual report card for Ohio Medicaid managed care plans was released yesterday, continuing the state’s effort to inform consumers and provide incentive for the health plans to improve their services. Nearly 80% of Ohioans enrolled on Medicaid are insured through private managed care plans.
The Ohio Department of Medicaid uses data provided by the plans and patient surveys to evaluate each plan on the following: access to care, doctors’ communication and service, keeping kids healthy, managing illness, and women’s health.
