Title: Honesty As Good Policy: Evaluating Maryland's Medicaid Managed Care Program.
Authors: Chang, Debbie I., Burton, Alice, O'Brien, John, Hurley, Robert E.

Subjects: Managed care programs, National health insurance, Old age assistance, Health policy, Health insurance
Abstract: This article describes one state's assessment of a statewide, prepaid, Medicaid managed care program. We look at the evaluation as both an exercise in policy analysis and an indication of the response to various constituencies' concerns. Three of us either worked for the state or contracted with the state to help evaluate the program. We begin this article with the history of managed care in Maryland and then discuss the need for its evaluation. We use some of the findings from the evaluation to illustrate the state's proactive and reactive response to its Medicaid managed care program and then examine the rollout of the evaluation and its key recommendations.
