In response to changes in the American health care system, many states adopt mandatory Medicaid managed care initiatives in an effort to control medical costs and improve healthcare access for the low-income and uninsured populations. These programs encourage the use of preventive and primary services while managing the use of more expensive inpatient and emergency care services. PCG Health™ has performed and sustains successful Medicaid managed care projects in several states throughout the US. In these states, PCG Health's trained health benefits advisory team has become an essential liaison between the consumer or Medicaid recipient, state human service agencies and private HMOs. We service the products of the insurer while educating the consumer on how to manage risks and how to make informed choices regarding their insurance coverage.
