Paramount Advantage filed its complaint against the Ohio Department of Medicaid May 7. The insurance company seeks documents it needs to protest the state’s selection of six other insurers to manage its Medicaid program.
Paramount has argued its exclusion from the $20 billion managed care program, which begins Jan. 5, was biased, according to the Toledo Blade. It wants the Ohio Court of Claims to order a mediation hearing and have the state give the documents to Paramount.
The Ohio Department of Medicaid declined the Toledo Blade‘s request for comment on the lawsuit.
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.
