Medicaid recipients to join HMOs in Onondaga County
Onondaga County will require 21 000 Medicaid recipients not in managed care to enroll next month. The move follows years of seeking federal approval and gains approval from the Health Care Financing Administration and New York Health Department. The change aims to save money and improve access for the poor. About 50 000 Medicaid recipients exist in the county, with 15 000 already in HMOs and 6 000 eligible for mandatory enrollment.
