Increasing Medicaid Payments to Doctors

Effective January 1, 2013

As Medicaid programs and providers prepare to cover more patients in 2014, the law requires states to pay primary care physicians 100% of Medicare payment rates in 2013 and 2014 for primary care services. The increase is fully funded by the federal government. This change is part of a package of incentives designed to help increase the quality of healthcare.
