  • Title: Women's health services: restructuring for Medicaid managed care.
    Author: Loughlin J, Bronner EF, Mascari JS.
    Journal: J Ambul Care Manage; 1997 Apr; 20(2):70-7. PubMed ID: 10181608.
    Abstract:
    New Jersey health care providers face the need to change dramatically the way health care is delivered as it enters a new era of managed care. This year, more than 24% of New Jersey's total population is enrolled in commercial managed care plans (New Jersey Department of Insurance, 1996). In addition, the state's Medicaid agency took steps to improve the delivery of health services to recipients by initiating implementation activities to transition from the traditional Medicaid program to a managed care model. Eighty-two percent of New Jersey's Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) and related populations have already been enrolled in managed care. The state plans to expand enrollment in managed care to the remaining 400,000 Medicaid beneficiaries. Communities with high Medicaid populations are challenged with the need to move through the managed care evolution at an accelerated rate.
