Essential Community Provider Issues in Medicaid Managed Care

Essential Community Provider Issues in Medicaid Managed Care

By Maureen Ann Milligan and Maureen Ann Milligan

As states pursue Medicaid managed care, price and market competition threatens health care providers who have depended on Medicaid funds and cost-shifting to support indigent health care, medical education, and other important health care functions. This report discusses some of the economic and quality-control issues faced by state policymakers as they work to ensure access to appropriate health care for traditionally vulnerable populations, maintain other important state-supported health care functions, and provide a cost-effective delivery system through Medicaid managed care.
