CLEVELAND, Ohio - People on the state's largest Medicaid managed care plan no longer will be able to access care from the Cleveland Clinic.

Dayton-based CareSource, which serves roughly 1.3 million Medicaid members in Ohio, reportedly terminated its contract with the Cleveland-based health system, according to the Clinic.

"The Cleveland Clinic is no longer a provider for CareSource," the Clinic said in a statement. "CareSource is informing its members this week of the transition to MetroHealth and other health systems with CareSource contracts, like Neighborhood Family, Care Alliance, NEON and University Hospitals."

CareSource could not immediately be reached for comment.

On June 28, when The Plain Dealer first reported on CareSource's potential break from the Clinic, the provider said it hoped the two organizations could still reach a resolution.

At the time, CareSource said, "We value our long-term relationship with the Cleveland Clinic. Our hope is that contract negotiations have not ended and we're open to continued dialogue."

The Clinic has worked with CareSource since 2001, according to the Clinic. Details on how many people access the Clinic using CareSource were not available. However, Medicaid patients represent 14 percent of the Clinic's revenues, according to recent annual financial reports.

Those affected who still want to use the Clinic can switch to one of the other plans accepted by the system: Buckeye Community Healthplan, Paramount Advantage and United Healthcare Medicaid managed care plans.

Those who intend to stick with CareSource can use their existing plan at University Hospitals and MetroHealth.

As of Monday evening, the Cleveland Clinic website still listed CareSource's managed care plan as an accepted plan.
