A Maryland health department official says the managed care organization with the largest number of Medicaid enrollees in the state has had its accreditation suspended. That's due to concerns with credentialing and quality reviews for its providers. Ryan Moran, the department official, says Priority Partners has about 350,000 enrollees in Medicaid. The health department says that's about 24% of Maryland’s roughly 1.5 million enrollees in the government-funded health insurance program for low-income people. The health department says Priority Partners is the only Medicaid managed care organization in the nation with an accreditation suspended by the National Committee for Quality Assurance.
