GLMS hosted the third annual GLMS Medicaid Roundtable on Thursday, April 14 at the Old Medical School. There, practice administrators and physicians were able to discuss coverage issues with MCO providers in an intimate setting. Medicaid MCO representatives in attendance included Anthem Kentucky Medicaid, Aetna Better Health, Humana Care Source, Passport Health Plan, WellCare and the Department of Medicaid Services. “This is a chance for one-on-one interaction with people you may only know through a telephone call or an e-mail communication.
