One of the keys to controlling the costs of Medicaid managed care patients is to treat them before they become ill. Richard Frye, Ph.D., profiles the Community Health Worker Outreach Program in Baltimore, which trains residents of neighborhoods with high numbers of Medicaid beneficiaries how to teach their chronically ill neighbors about improving their health.
