CareSource and Houston-based Legacy Community Health’s joint venture, dubbed CareSource Bayou Health, is looking to serve Harris and Jefferson County residents who are part of the State of Texas Access Reform managed care program and Children’s Health Insurance Program, according to a Sept. 13 news release.  

CareSource President and CEO Erhardt Preitauer told the Dayton Daily News the organization expects to hear from the state of Texas whether  it will be awarded contracts by late 2023 or early 2024.

At the Becker's 5th Annual Fall Payer Issues Roundtable, taking place November 2–3 in Chicago, payer executives and healthcare leaders will come together to discuss value-based care, regulatory changes, cost management strategies and innovations shaping the future of payer-provider collaboration.
