Respect for Medicaid I have to have alot of respect and admiration for the Medicaid system here in New York I m a client of a Medicaid Managed Care health plan through Capital District Physicians Health Plan My plan is the result of a contract between CDPHP and the NY Medicaid system Standard practice here is placing Medicaid clients in managed care plans through health insurance companies run by the state I like my managed care plan I was without any health care insurance for almost eight years without Medicaid and my Medicaid Managed Care plan I d be worse off Better than nothing isn t it Oh the name of my plan is CDPHP Select Plan the plan CDPHP runs for Medicaid clients in my county and several other nearby counties
