Medicaid Overhaul On Track
{Kentucky}...Cabinet for Health and Family Services Secretary Janie Miller says the agency is on track to meet an October 1st deadline to overhaul Kentucky's Medicaid program. The legislative Medicaid Oversight and Advisory Committee had asked for a delay in moving most Medicaid members outside the Jefferson County area onto a managed care plan. During a meeting Monday, several lawmakers asked if the state is moving too quickly, but Miller said she sees no reason for delays. The move is meant to save money and eliminate a budget shortfall of about $100 million in the program that serves more than 800,000 Kentuckians.
