Why should a doctor take more Medicaid patients if he or she can get more money for the same kind of services for a non-Medicaid patient? If they can get more non-Medicaid patients they don't have to take them.......but they realize they are passing up a lot of business if they do so most won't... Nationally 69% of doctors are accepting new Medicaid patients....(..http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/11/28/us/Shortage-of-Doctors-Accepting-Medicaid.html) Why wouldn't newly insured Medicaid people seek out your doctor, anyway? They would need a PCP, at least. Unless she's not listed as accepting Medicaid? Medicaid Plan Prods Patients Toward Health nytimes.com And this survey, does it have a link? medscape.com
