Coalition letter to Medicaid Committees in support of extending Medicaid Pay Parity

As organizations representing the majority of the nation's physicians, we write to express our strong support for (1) extending for at least two more years the Medicaid primary care payment increase, which has only recently been implemented in a majority of states, and (2) including physicians practicing obstetrics and gynecology as qualified specialties, subject to the current eligibility requirement that at least 60 percent of their Medicaid billings are the primary care services as defined by the authorizing legislation, for the purposes of qualifying for the Medicaid primary care increases.
