2024 Alert – Stop Medicaid Cuts
Medicaid budget cuts will decrease patient access to healthcare! Email your Baltimore County legislators to ask them to reverse the cuts. Ask them to restore Medicaid E&M payment rates in Maryland. In recent years, Medicaid E&M payments have been in parity or higher than Medicare E&M payments. Lower payments will affect patient access. Use MedChi’s grassroots messaging link below.
Problem and Solution
- The current Fiscal Year 2025 Budget proposal cuts Medicaid E&M payments.
- Medicaid enrollment has expanded to over 1.8 million Marylanders.
- We must maintain payments at the current level in order to recruit and retain physicians who accept Medicaid.
- Without enough participating physicians, these vulnerable patients will not have access to the essential care they need.
HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN DO: Send a message to your state legislators.
