CareSource is a nonprofit managed health care plan headquartered in Dayton, Ohio. It is the largest Medicaid plan in Ohio and second largest in the United States.〔 〕〔http://www.bizjournals.com/dayton/news/2013/01/30/caresource-adds-downtown-dayton-office.html〕 The company is contracted with the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= CareSource brief information )〕 In 2010, CareSource had approximately 900 employees with 800 of them based in Dayton. ==History== CareSource was founded in Dayton, Ohio by Pamela Morris, who is still the president and chief executive officer, with the goal of expanding health care for underserved populations. The plan was originally called the Dayton Area Health Plan (DAHP) and was associated with United Health Care.〔http://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/stories/2007/11/26/daily32.html〕 DAHP began with a $500,000 grant from the state of Ohio to address a growing issue with the health care problems of low income citizens. The company dealt with several regulatory hurdles in 1987 to 1989 from the Ohio Department of Insurance. The DAHP had to raise funds, secure an HMO license and obtain a federal waiver allowing the company to operate solely as a mandatory enrollment plan. The DAHP would become the first mandatory Medicaid managed care program 〔 In 1993 the federal waiver would expire and in order to allow the organization to continue (rather than maintain a mandatory 75/25 ratio of mandatory and voluntary enrollees) Congressional action would be required. This meant that at that time, 25% of the plan's members could not be on Medicaid or Medicare. It overcame these hurdles when U.S. Congressman Dave Hobson intervened on its behalf to gain an exception for the DAHP. In the year 2000, DAHP consolidated all its health plans under one name – CareSource.〔 In this year, the company had about 70,000 members and by 2003 that number exceeded 320,000. . In 2004, the organization was ranked sixth-largest Medicaid managed care plan in the United States by ''Interstudy''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Company History and Timeline ) 〕 Also in 2004, the company's training program-CareSource University opened to educate employees and keep service standards high. In 2006, desiring to support surrounding non-profits, CareSource established the CareSource Foundation. The foundation collaborates with non-profits who share in the misson of serving the underserved. It has awarded a total of 693 grants to non-profit organizations so far. In this same year when the economy was down in Dayton, Ohio and major employers like National Cash Register, General Motors, and Delphi closed or left town. In 2007 employment in the area remained weak, but CareSource saw business growth and became the only Medicaid Managed Care provider to offer services in all 88 counties in Ohio. That year CareSource broke ground on its new corporate headquarters in Downtown Dayton, showing the company's commitment to the city it was founded in. The project was the largest urban building development in Ohio at the time. Building was completed in 2009 on the $55 million corporate headquarters at the corner of Main Street and Monument Avenue in downtown Dayton. The 300,000-square-foot, 9-story building is downtown's first new office tower since before 2000.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CareSource Office Building ) 〕 The building's Architect was BHDP Architecture. By 2010, the company was the third largest Medicaid HMO in the country, with $2.5 billion in revenue and 800,000 clients across Ohio and Michigan. In 2010, CareSource announced expansion of its provider network in Southeastern Ohio through a partnership with Quality Care Partners (QCP), a physician-hospital organization (PHO).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Expansion to SW Ohio )〕 In 2012, the company announced a partnership with Humana. This partnership works to serve dual-eligible populations, or individuals who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid. In this year, the company expanded into Kentucky with Humana. In 2013, CareSource announced that it would move some employees to a second office at 40 West Second Street in Downtown Dayton. 200 employees were relocated in that building, across from the Schuster Center in Dayton while the rest of the employees remained in the headquarters building a few blocks away.〔 CareSource worked with provider partners in 2013 to create an affordable option for Ohio in collaboration with the Affordable Care Act. They entered the Health Insurance Exchange and created Just4Me, a product which allowed the company to enter the commercial insurance market. CareSource Just4Me allows individuals the opportunity to choose either an individual or family plan that best fits his/her needs while remaining affordable.〔https://www.caresource.com/just4me/〕 In 2014, MyCare Ohio was launched to integrate Medicare and Medicaid benefits. CareSource used this opportunity to create a plan which assimilates both Medicaid and Medicare into one CareSource health plan.〔https://www.caresource.com/mycare/〕 By the end of 2014, the company expects to exceed 2,000 employees and will occupy the offices in three buildings in downtown Dayton.〔http://www.bizjournals.com/dayton/print-edition/2014/05/23/caresource-ceo-pam-morris-on-reshaping-dayton-amid.html?page=4〕 The company also announced plans to expand into the health insurance marketplaces of Kentucky and Indiana.〔http://www.bizjournals.com/dayton/news/2014/06/20/caresource-plans-expansion-into-kentucky-indiana.html〕 The constant growth that CareSource is experiencing with healthcare reform and Medicaid expansion has made it the third largest company in the Dayton area again in 2014.〔http://www.bizjournals.com/dayton/subscriber-only/2014/06/06/dayton-area-top-100-companies.html〕 CareSource celebrates 25 years as one of the nation's largest Managed Medicaid Plans and the largest in Ohio in 2014. The company now serves more than 1 million consumers in Ohio and Kentucky. CareSource is living its mission to provide health care to those who need it most. CareSource understands the challenges consumers face navigating the health system and works to put health care in reach for those it serves.〔https://www.caresource.com/about-us/news-room/recent-news-releases/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CareSource」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
