MACPAC conducted semistructured interviews with Medicaid officials, plan administrators, and provider organizations in eight states during the summer of 2014 to shed light on whether interviewees thought the primary care payment increase, which temporarily raised Medicaid fees for primary care services to Medicare levels, affected access to primary care.
This presentation briefs the Commission on the results of those interviews, finding that the impact of the primary care payment increase on access to primary care is still unclear.
