Quorum Report: HHSC delays implementation of controversial Medicaid vendor contract

August 10, 2017 12:44 PM HHSC delays implementation of controversial Medicaid vendor contract Chair Price: “There’s a lot of confusion that you recognize when Superior has been telling suppliers one thing and then telling our office something separate” The *Health and Human Services Commission* will delay the implementation of a controversial Medicaid vendor contract for a month, allowing more time for families to opt out of the use of a mail order model to provide durable medical supplies. Lawmakers on the *House Human Services Committee* were more frustrated with *Superior HealthPlan* than they were HHSC, but it was Executive Commissioner Charles Smith who took the hit, along with new Medicaid Director Jami Snyder.
