Mississippi Physicians Care Network (MPCN)
Announces Partnership with Magnolia Health Plan (Magnolia) for the Mississippi
Division of Medicaid MississippiCAN Program
We are pleased to announce that
Mississippi Physicians Care Network (MPCN), a subsidiary of the Mississippi
State Medical Association (MSMA), has joined forces with Magnolia Health Plan
(Magnolia) to provide a physician-directed network for patients receiving
MississippiCAN benefits through the Mississippi Division of Medicaid
(Medicaid). This program is designed by Medicaid and currently includes
approximately 82,000 beneficiaries and growing.
Together, MPCN and Magnolia want to work with physicians and other
providers like you to ensure doctor-directed coordinated medical care to
Medicaid beneficiaries.
A little about Magnolia Health Plan. MPCN is partnering with
Magnolia because they are committed to long-term relationships with physicians
to ensure that your Medicaid patients get the right care, in the right place,
at the right time. Magnolia has promised to engage physicians to actively work together on key program
decisions, quality improvement, pharmacy issues, and other impediments that
usually discourage doctors. In fact, several MPCN physicians are serving in
leadership capacities with Magnolia Health Plan on the Board of Directors as
well as Quality Improvement and Credentialing Committees. Magnolia is wholly owned by its parent
company, Centene Corporation, which has been serving Medicaid members for 25
years. Centene currently has 1.4 million Medicaid members in nine (9) states
and is pleased to now add Mississippi
to that list. Centene’s health plans draw on a national infrastructure with
centralized finance, information systems, and medical management support
systems, yet have local staff throughout Mississippi
in member relations and provider relations, a local call center, and a local
management team.
At MPCN, we know that you have a
choice and we are pleased to offer a doctor-directed, MSMA-sponsored
alternative so physicians like you can treat Medicaid recipients and
participate with Magnolia to improve health outcomes in this fragile
population. We have included a summary document which provides information
relative to the MississippiCAN program for your review. If you would like additional information or
already know that you want to partner with MPCN and Magnolia regarding your
patients in the MississippiCAN program you may fax the attached form to us at
601-605-4753 or contact us at 800-931-8533.
We will contact you soon to
further discuss this exciting partnership and look forward to your
participation in the MPCN/Magnolia Health Plan network.
