Three of Kentucky’s six Medicaid managed care organizations are participating in a newly established Kentucky Health Alliance. The program is aimed at streamlining the credentialing process medical providers use while working with MCOs. Kentucky Hospital Association President Nancy Galvagni said it means providers can do this once instead of contacting each Medicaid managed care group.
“A provider comes in, fills out one applications and its reviewed for credentialling for all three plans, obviously that’s going to reduce administrative burden by a lot for those providers. As you reduce that administrative burden, it helps our plans to reduce their costs as well,” said Galvagni.
