路易斯安那州延长United Health Carvey's MedicAid合同90天, 以避免在价格及合规争议中出现覆盖缺口。 Louisiana extends UnitedHealthcare’s Medicaid contract 90 days to avoid coverage gaps amid dispute over pricing and compliance.

路易斯安那州在立法者对影响到30多万受益者的突然变化表示关切后, 将联合医疗组织42亿美元的医疗补助合同延长90天。 Louisiana has extended UnitedHealthcare’s $4.2 billion Medicaid contract for 90 days after lawmakers raised concerns about abrupt changes affecting over 300,000 beneficiaries. 延长期限的目的是,在国家官员与保险人之间就指称的违反处方药定价行为发生争议并记录不遵守规定的情况之后,使向新供应商的过渡更加平稳,防止覆盖面差距。 The extension aims to allow a smoother transition to new providers and prevent coverage gaps, following a dispute between state officials and the insurer over alleged prescription drug pricing violations and document non-compliance. 立法者批评缺乏协调,说尽管最近批准了延长合同,他们还是盲目地无动于衷。 Lawmakers criticized the lack of coordination, saying they were blindsided despite recently approving a contract extension. 90天期限之后的未来仍然不确定,因为国家继续对联合医疗公司提起诉讼。 The future beyond the 90-day period remains uncertain as the state continues its lawsuit against UnitedHealthcare.
