LOUISIANA LEADERS HAVE AGREED TO EXTEND THE MEDICAID CONTRACT WITH UNITED HEALTHCARE BY NINETY DAYS, ACCORDING TO THE ADVOCATE.  THEY HAD COME UNDER FIRE BY LEGISLATORS FOR THEIR DECISION NOT TO RENEW THE CONTRACT JUST A FEW WEEKS BEFORE IT WAS SET TO EXPIRE.  THE LEGISLATORS SAID THE ABRUPT CHANGE WOULD CAUSE CHAOS FOR PATIENTS.  IT’S NOT CLEAR IF UNITED HEALTHCARE WILL ACCEPT THE EXTENSION OR WHETHER THE STATE WILL KEEP THE CONTRACT AT THE END OF THE NINETY DAYS.
