By contracting with various types of MCOs to deliver Medicaid program health care services to their beneficiaries, states can reduce Medicaid program costs and better manage utilization of health services. Improvement in health plan performance, health care quality, and outcomes are key objectives of Medicaid managed care. Some states are implementing a range of initiatives to coordinate and integrate care beyond traditional managed care.
The quick-lube chains usually recommend it be done every three months or 3,000 miles, but many mechanics would tell you that such frequent changes are overkill. Indeed, most car ownerâs manuals recommend changing out the oil less frequently, usually after 5,000 or 7,500 miles.
On my own cars, I change the oil every 3,000 miles if most of my driving has been short trips around town. I will wait to change oil until 5,000 miles if most of my driving has been on the highway, and ONLY on my cars that have less than 60,000 miles on the odometer (I have several cars).IL ANALYSIS. One way to know for sure when the oil needs to be changed is to have the oil analyzed at 3,000, 5,000, 7,500 or 10,000 miles. Many fleets do this to optimize their oil change intervals. A small sample of oil (3 to 4 oz.) is taken from the engine, sealed in a bottle and mailed to a laboratory for analysis.
