Contact your state Medicaid office to qualify for enhanced primary care payments

Primary care and related specialty physicians will see an increase in their Medicaid payments this year to make them at least equivalent to Medicare payments.

To ensure that you receive this increase, you must contact your state Medicaid office. Each state has a different timeline and procedure for physicians to fulfill an “attestation” requirement to receive the payment increases. In some states, physicians may still be able to qualify for payments retroactive to the beginning of the year; however, you need to start the attestation process as soon as possible. Additional information about the enhanced payments is on the College's website.
