AUSTIN — The state’s mega-agency for social services has found “serious issues” with managed care insurers’ bids and will re-open bidding on three large contracts in Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program, an agency spokeswoman said Monday.
Many bidders to provide medical and dental services failed to follow state rules designed to give minority-owned businesses a chance to be subcontractors in large state purchases, said Christine Mann of the Health and Human Services Commission.
