The Impact of Medicaid Primary Care Payment Increases in Washington State
Description:
Enhanced payments for primary care services provided to Medicaid patients in 2013 and 2014, authorized by the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010, expire in 2015. This study assessed how the Medicaid payment increase affected primary care providers’ willingness to provide care for Medicaid patients in Washington State, how providers may respond if reimbursement rates revert to pre-2013 levels, and which strategies encourage providers to see Medicaid patients.
