>> Medicaid will give her names of doctors who have Medicaid patients. She still has to call to see if they are accepting additional Medicaid patients.

And I think this is important in the current context because while I know many doctors who have stopped taking Medicaid patients, I've never known one to file the necessary paperwork with Medicaid to say, "I'm no longer a Medicaid provider."

Someone, somewhere may do that, but I've never seen it at all. Even if Medicaid doesn't receive the necessary paperwork to renew a provider's status, they'll stay on that list -- Medicaid just won't pay the claims any longer. At least that's how it works in the four states I work in mostly.

This looks to me to be a rapidly evolving, serious problem. By adding a substantial number of new Medicaid recipients, it may be that those who needed the program most (those who previously qualified) are no longer able to get services.
