Ohio therapists say Medicaid payment clawbacks could force closures, limit care access

Mental health providers across Ohio are facing financial strain after receiving "overpayment recovery" notices from CareSource, one of the largest Medicaid managed care providers in the state. The notices indicate that CareSource plans to recoup a portion of previously paid claims, sometimes by withholding future payments. This could result in closures or restrictions on care access. Some providers fear this could force them to stop accepting Medicaid patients or close their practices altogether. The Ohio Department of Medical Insurance is reviewing the financial impact on these providers' services.
