After what feels like an eternity, Medicaid Transformation will begin July 1, 2021. Yes, it actually will. I know there are some eye rolls out there and “yeah sures” but as far as we at Atromitos can tell, the Department is committed to this start date. We adamantly appeal to providers, Medicaid enrollees, and other stakeholders to educate yourselves on the transformation model and engage in the pr
