Gray announced today an agreement in principle with the Receiver overseeing the DC Chartered Health Plan that has been in receivership for the past eight months. The agreement paves the way to reimburse hospitals and the array of community based providers for the costs incurred in delivering health care services to more than 105,000 Medicaid and Alliance beneficiaries who were assigned to the DC Chartered Health Plan.  Many of these providers have not received payment from DC Chartered since April 2013.
