MiChild Reimbursement Rate Being Cut [Michigan Capitol Confidential]:
"As of Oct. 1, Michigan doctors and medical facilities will be receiving less for treating children who are in the MiChild program, which is the State of Michigan's health care program for uninsured children of working families.
According to the Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH), 37,503 Michigan children are currently covered by MiChild.
.....“Low reimbursement rates are really having a negative impact on those in the vulnerable portion of our population.
That's why the whole thing with Medicaid expansion is wrong.
And it's really too bad because there are things that could be done to improve care for these people.”
“The quality of care falls off with a lower reimbursement rate,” Edison added. "
