Medicaid reimbursements are going help doctors in rural area tremulously who decide to take part in Rural Health Clinics. One of the prerequisites is placing a Nurse Practitioner in the clinic at least 50% of the time. I research this data and consult with physicians in various parishes and can tell you in some parishes the reimbursement is over $200 per patient. These are in provider based RHC's (hospitals). In independence RHC's the reimbursement is not as high but for example one of my clients is seeing reimbursements of $33 to $79 on Medicaid. In other words, what happens in under serviced areas with RHC are end up matching Medicare and Medicaid rates.

I am self employed. I don't have a corporate daddy taking care of me. I have had to fight with insurance companies for the last 15 years just to get minimal coverage with exclusions for my back....I've had 2 back surgeries. Talking to my agent today, looks like I will get better coverage for less money.
