Dayton, Ohio-based CareSource, one of the largest not-for-profit operators of managed Medicaid plans, has acquired Commonwealth Care Alliance (CCA), a not-for-profit insurer based in Boston with a long history of serving Medicare-Medicaid dual eligibles. The deal will enable struggling CCA to meet state funding requirements and “move forward to strengthen and enhance care for CCA’s members and patients,” a CareSource spokesperson tells AIS Health, a division of MMIT.
