Discussion Posting: Managed Medicaid

For this discussion posting, please get started by reading the following article that appeared in
The Monitor:

The Monitor Medicaid Change Article
When this article was written in 2012, there were many people who were worried about a substantial change that was going to be made to the Medicaid program. The change involved how Medicaid would now become administered by private insurance companies under Managed Care Medicaid models.
In order to get a better understanding of the change involved with this situation, please conduct some preliminary research and learn how the terms managed care, medical necessity, and utilization management relate to healthcare insurance.
For your posting, please address the following questions about Managed Care Medicaid:
What are the implications for patients and providers (doctors, psychiatrists, therapists, etc.)?
Has it radically changed the experience for consumers (patients) and providers?
Who has benefited the most from this change? Insurance companies? Patients? Or both? Please discuss your thoughts on who gains or loses from this change in the healthcare industry.
As before, I expect your post to be an in-depth discussion that reflects adequate research of the topic and is made up of 2 comprehensive paragraphs (which means 5-8 full, well-written sentences per paragraph).
