Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medicaid is a critical part of ensuring health care access for vulnerable populations, which is why it was expanded as part of the Affordable Care Act passed in 2010. But many are cautiously optimistic about this expansion. Health care access for Medicaid beneficiaries depends on providers willing to treat them, yet many providers are severely restricting the number of Medicaid patients they see or are dropping out of the Medicaid program altogether. This threat to Medicaid access can be traced to state payment cuts, freezes, or changes in rate-setting methodology that dramatically reduce provider reimbursement. Congress gave states significant flexibility in rate setting in order to encourage them to experiment with health delivery and financing models that would reduce cost and deliver care more efficiently. Nonetheless, there are constraints on this flexibility. Rates must be adequate to ensure timely and equal access to quality care. There are also procedural requirements - states must get federal regulatory approval of rate changes and give the public adequate notice and opportunity to comment on such changes. Since Medicaid's enactment, however, providers and beneficiaries have brought payment suits challenging state rate cuts and rate-setting methodology as violating these requirements. In some cases, states ignore clear procedural requirements, making cuts without any consideration of access and quality factors. In other instances, the claim is that a state's process is inadequate because it does not consider the information necessary to ensure equal access. But the fate of Medicaid payment suits as a tool for protecting health care access and quality is uncertain for a number of reasons. First, the Supreme Court in Douglas v. Independent Living Center has taken up (and just recently remanded to the Ninth Circuit) a case that considers providers' and beneficiaries' right to challenge state rate cuts in federal court, as well as the level of review courts must apply to cuts approved by the federal government. Second, the recent Medicaid expansion means that more people will be eligible for Medicaid and will need providers, further exacerbating access concerns. Finally, despite the Obama Administration's renewed focus on Medicaid access generally, it is sending conflicting signals about its commitment to enforce existing federal access and quality protections. This Article explores the efficacy of payment suits as a tool for Medicaid access enforcement, and it considers the implications of the current regulatory and jurisprudential uncertainty for this important enforcement tool.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The balance between state and federal health care financing for low-income people has been a matter of considerable debate for the last 40 years. Some argue for a greater federal role, others for more devolution of responsibility to the states. Medicaid, the backbone of the system, has been plagued by an array of problems that have made it unpopular and difficult to use to extend health care coverage. In recent years, waivers have given the states the flexibility to change many features of their Medicaid programs; moreover, the states have considerable flexibility to in establishing State Children's Health Insurance Programs. This book examines the record on the changing health safety net. How well have states done in providing acute and long-term care services to low-income populations? How have they responded to financial incentives and federal regulatory requirements? How innovative have they been? Contributing authors include Donald J. Boyd, Randall R. Bovbjerg, Teresa A. Coughlin, Ian Hill, Michael Housman, Robert E. Hurley, Marilyn Moon, Mary Beth Pohl, Jane Tilly, and Stephen Zuckerman.

Download or read book Fragmented Democracy written by Jamila Michener and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medicaid is the single largest public health insurer in the United States, covering upwards of 70 million Americans. Crucially, Medicaid is also an intergovernmental program that yokes poverty to federalism: the federal government determines its broad contours, while states have tremendous discretion over how Medicaid is designed and implemented. Where some locales are generous and open handed, others are tight-fisted and punitive. In Fragmented Democracy, Jamila Michener demonstrates the consequences of such disparities for democratic citizenship. Unpacking how federalism transforms Medicaid beneficiaries' interpretations of government and structures their participation in politics, the book examines American democracy from the vantage point(s) of those who are living in or near poverty, (disproportionately) Black or Latino, and reliant on a federated government for vital resources.
