Medicaid beneficiaries in the Lower Rio Grande Valley and rural Texas who have little or no experience with HMOs soon will become closely acquainted with them. Under Senate Bill 7, which passed in this summer's special session, the Texas Legislature mandated statewide Medicaid managed care, which previously was limited to large urban areas. The move is one of dozens of cost-cutting initiatives included in SB 7.
