![]() For more than five years, and as the Travis County population continues to grow, demand for MAP services has far exceeded the number of individuals the program was designed and funded to support. Central Health repeatedly cites a 10-year-old agreement in their lawsuit, but completely ignores 23 agreements they have ratified since then that detail baseline numbers for appointments in specialty care.Īscension Seton maintains that Central Health has misrepresented its agreement and used distorted numbers to inaccurately represent growth of the MAP program. The data clearly demonstrates the success of the MAP program - through improved clinical outcomes and a better continuum of care. Ascension Seton believes that Central Health’s taxpayer-funded lawsuit is focusing on the wrong numbers. This action seeks to address Central Health’s over-enrollment and underfunding of the Medical Access Program (MAP), the county indigent healthcare program and the public-private partnership designed to provide equitable access to care for Travis County’s economically vulnerable residents.Īscension Seton had been seeking a good faith resolution to Central Health’s continued refusal to support increased demand for MAP services but was forced to seek legal remedy after Central Health refused to engage in further good faith discussions and negotiations. Lawsuit Seeks Court Intervention to Order Central Health to Fulfill Its Obligations to Support Medical Access Program for County’s Most Vulnerable ResidentsĪUSTIN, Texas, January 25, 2023-( BUSINESS WIRE)-Ascension Seton today announced it filed a lawsuit against Central Health.
