Abstract
This paper describes the process of increasing reimbursement rates
for physicians who provide services to Maryland Medicaid enrollees. It
compares Maryland Medicaid reimbursement rates for physicians with
Medicare fees in Maryland and Medicaid reimbursement rates of other states. It
also provides an analysis of the impact of the increases in reimbursement rates
on the participation of physicians in the Medicaid programme. Based on the
analysis presented in this article, which targets the increase in reimbursement
rates to evaluation and management procedures, the Maryland Government
increased physician fees in the Medicaid programme beginning July 2002.
Evaluation and management procedures are usually office visits provided by
either a primary care physician or a specialist.
