CareSource Faces Protests Over Behavioral Health Overpayment Recoupment
CareSource, a major Medicaid provider in Ohio, faced protests from mental health professionals and social workers in Dayton. The protests were in response to CareSource's decision to recoup overpayments made to behavioral health providers over the past two years. CareSource had identified these overpayments and planned to adjust future payments to align with the correct rates as per the Ohio Administrative Code. However, following feedback from the community, CareSource announced it would suspend the recoupment process. The company stated that the recoupment could cause financial strain and impact access to care for members. CareSource emphasized its commitment to working with Ohio's healthcare community to ensure access to critical services.
