Description

Medicaid consumers with disabilities receive less preventative care than those without disabilities because of inaccessible medical offices and services. In 2017, Centene launched a nationwide Provider Accessibility Initiative (PAI) in partnership with the National Council on Independent Living (NCIL) to address this. Learn about the PAI and the Centene Barrier Removal Fund, results to date, lessons learned, and future efforts to increase access in medical offices for consumers with disabilities.
