Medicaid Expansion and Your Physician Practice

EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. - Oct. 3, 2013 - PRLog -- The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was created in part to help reduce the uninsured significantly, by giving them an option of affordable coverage through Medicaid expansion, and the new Health Insurance Exchanges.  Each state has the option to expand their medicaid programs to help cover more adults - anyone from 19-64 who falls in an income bracket under 138% of the Federal Poverty Level, which is near $16,000/year.  These programs will be covered with 100% federal financing for the first three years, commencing in 2014.

What does this mean for physicians and Physician practices?  Physician Practices will see more Medicaid patients.  While an increase in Medicaid transactions may seem daunting, it will put more insured patients into doctor's offices.  Getting paid by Medicaid often comes with its own set of challenges, and may become even more difficult with the influx of insured and the ability for the state agencies to handle the volume.  This is where an experienced Medical Billing company can ease some of the burden.  Medical Billing Solutions, Inc. has extensive experience with all insurance carriers, including Medicaid, and can steer your practice through the waters of this new reality.
