Washington — Thirty-three states plan to increase their Medicaid payment rates for doctors in 2008. Many also are poised to expand eligibility and to use the program to cover more of the uninsured.
Next year will mark the third consecutive year during which at least two dozen states raised Medicaid physician reimbursements, according to an annual 50-state survey of Medicaid directors. It was released in October by the Kaiser Family Foundation and Health Management Associates, a health research and consulting firm.
