Section 22-6-233 Legislative findings; certification of collaborators; powers of Medicaid Agency;
state action immunity. (a) The Legislature declares that collaboration among public payers,
private health carriers, third party purchasers, and providers to identify appropriate service
delivery systems and reimbursement methods in order to align incentives in support of integrated
