ACR® Medicaid Network
The ACR® Medicaid Network representatives and economics and health policy staff monitor local Medicaid programs and review local coverage policies. In addition, the network's relationships with large, multistate Medicaid Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) allow the ACR to have valued input in reviewing and commenting on medical coverage policies. The priorities and goals of the ACR Medicaid Network are:
- Increase member awareness of Medicaid’s role and its relevance to radiology.
- Continue to encourage members to engage with their state MCOs.
- Continue to track, review and communicate state and national level changes in Medicaid programs.
