Ohio’s Medicaid department is seeking input from companies and organizations familiar with the state's Medicaid program on ways to improve the experience of its 3 million patients.

The state announced the plan on Tuesday that outlines its vision for re-imagining the government health insurance program. The request is directed at providers, associations, advocacy groups, data and information technology vendors, and managed care organizations.

All of this is an extension of an initiative by Republican Governor, Mike DeWine aimed at reducing barriers, streamlining access and enhancing health care delivery.
