Becker's Healthcare June 20, 2024
Driscoll Health Plan is warning about its future ability to remain operational following Texas’ decision not to award the payer a Medicaid contract earlier this year.
In March, Texas tentatively awarded a majority of its Medicaid and CHIP contracts to Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, Molina Healthcare, Aetna and UnitedHealthcare, which are collectively worth $116 billion. Centene, which currently holds contracts in nine of the state’s 13 service areas, picked up just three in the tentative award.
In June, Texas officials rejected protests from eight insurers challenging the Medicaid contract awards, which includes AmeriHealth Caritas, CareSource Bayou Health, Cook Children’s Health Plan, Driscoll Health Plan, Baylor Scott & White Health Plan, Superior HealthPlan (Centene) and Wellpoint (Elevance Health).
