In 2019, as in prior years, Medicaid physician fees remained well below Medicare and private insurance fees despite growth in Medicaid enrollment. Low Medicaid physician fees have important implications in terms of access to care for Medicaid enrollees and the effects of proposals to expand coverage through a Medicaid buy-in program or a Medicaid-like public option.
2019 年，与以往几年一样，尽管医疗补助计划的参保人数有所增加，但医疗补助计划医生的费用仍远低于医疗保险和私人保险的费用。医疗补助计划医生的低费用对于医疗补助计划参保者获得医疗服务的机会以及通过医疗补助计划参保购买计划或类似医疗补助的公共选择来扩大覆盖范围的建议的影响具有重要意义。
