Louisiana extends UnitedHealthcare’s Medicaid contract 90 days to avoid coverage gaps amid dispute over pricing and compliance.
Louisiana has extended UnitedHealthcare’s $4.2 billion Medicaid contract for 90 days after lawmakers raised concerns about abrupt changes affecting over 300,000 beneficiaries.
The extension aims to allow a smoother transition to new providers and prevent coverage gaps, following a dispute between state officials and the insurer over alleged prescription drug pricing violations and document non-compliance.
Lawmakers criticized the lack of coordination, saying they were blindsided despite recently approving a contract extension.
The future beyond the 90-day period remains uncertain as the state continues its lawsuit against UnitedHealthcare.
