Allows Medicaid beneficiaries to maintain continuity of care in Tailored Plans and promotes competition among local management entities/managed care.

The bill enables Medicaid beneficiaries to stay in the Medicaid fee-for-service program for physical healthcare services if their providers are not in the Tailored Plan network. It also allows beneficiaries to opt into a Tailored Plan outside their region. The Department of Health and Human Services must report to the Joint Legislative Oversight Committee on Medicaid with recommendations for promoting competition among local management entities/managed care organizations. The act is effective upon becoming law.
