A major new report from researchers at the George Washington University details findings from the second phase of a landmark study about Medicaid managed care and family planning services. Coming 40 years after Congress enacted special protections to preserve access to family planning services for beneficiaries enrolled in Medicaid managed care, the study found a virtually universal consensus on the enormous value of family planning/managed care integration. The study also found widespread interest on the part of plans and providers in efforts to improve family planning access and quality using the delivery and payment reform tools of modern Medicaid managed care systems.
The report was authored by Sara Rosenbaum, Caitlin Murphy, Rebecca Morris, Peter Shin and Jessica Sharac in collaboration with Health Managment Associates
