End of CMARC/CMHRP Care Management Programs

State care management programs end December 31, leaving roughly 2,500-5,000 residents — including uninsured and Medicaid Direct patients — without coverage unless the county acts. Commissioner Adams is pushing for a full local maternal health plan, which staff will bring back in October.
