Managing with Medicaid

INSTRUCTIONS:

Medicaid was enacted to help people with disabilities or possess low incomes as well as to protect children who may not have insurance. The field has seen a dramatic decrease in the number of private providers who are willing to accept Medicaid patients. Imagine you are an office manager of a small, one physician clinic. Recent balance sheets show that your clinic is losing money due to Medicaid patients. Respond to the following questions:

• Describe 2-3 potential issues that arise with reducing the number of Medicaid-insured patients within the practice?
• Often, healthcare is a balance between ethics and business practices. How can office managers potentially address these issues while remaining ethical?
• Support responses with scholarly resources.

Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format. This topic is valued at 20 points. Please review post and response expectations. Please review the rubric to ensure that your response meets criteria.
