Risk-Based Managed Care in Kentucky: A Second Year Implementation Report & Assessment of Beneficiary Perceptions

How has Kentucky Medicaid managed care fared after our initial one-year report?

We find that many implementation issues have stabilized since the beginning of managed care, though issues of pharmaceutical access and behavioral health care remain.
