Medicaid Patients Are Losing Their Doctors Because of Costs - Newsweek

Medicaid patients are losing their doctors as the federal government lowers reimbursement rates for health care providers.

Doctors have a choice in which health insurance they accept, and not all of them opt into the government-run Medicaid and Medicare, which serve low-income and senior Americans.

Over the years, fewer doctors have accepted Medicare and Medicaid as the payments have lowered by a whopping 26 percent since 2001, according to the American Medical Association.
