The centerpiece of the Health Affairs Journal Club meeting in May is,
"In Medicaid Managed Care Networks, Care Is Highly Concentrated Among
A Small Percentage Of Physicians
."
Using data from four states, Avital B. Ludomirsky and coauthors found
that, of those that contracted with Medicaid, on average just 25 percent
of primary care physicians provided 86 percent of care and 25 percent of
specialists provided 75 percent of care.
On top of that, the study confirmed that inadequate or outdated provider
directories vastly misrepresent the availability of care.
The result, the authors argue, is that current network adequacy
standards may not reflect actual access to the Medicaid program; and
that new methods that account for beneficiary preferences and physician
willingness to serve Medicaid patients are needed to enforce these
standards.
Please join Dr. Ludomirsky, a pediatrician and postdoctoral fellow at
the Yale School of Medicine, on May 17th for a detailed discussion of
the paper's data, methods, and conclusions. Health Affairs Senior
Editor Leslie Erdelack will host.
Date: Tuesday, May 17, 2022
Time: 4:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. (Eastern)
