Illinois lawmakers are demanding more information about the state’s huge Medicaid revamp.
There are conflicting reports about the effect of the new reimbursement rates that the state will pay participating insurers, with some complaining that the new program will create major financial problems for the insurance companies… which could have ripple effects across the Illinois health care industry.
There are also questions about the state’s decision to withhold information on what it is paying some insurers, if those companies requested that the numbers stay secret.
