Full Report (PDF)

Brief Description

The Medicaid program in New Hampshire provides services to a variety of different resident populations – including lower income children and pregnant women, the elderly, and the physically and mentally disabled. Many different providers serve these Medicaid enrolled individuals, including hospitals, home health care organizations, nursing homes and physicians, among others. And these providers supply a wide array of services. In this analysis, we assess how Medicaid pays for medical, surgical, and diagnostic services by all different types of providers excluding hospital inpatient, nursing home and other institutional services. We compare Medicaid service fees to two baselines: fees paid by Medicare – the primary insurer of those over 65 and the disabled – and private payers in New Hampshire – including Anthem, Cigna and Harvard Pilgrim, among other insurers doing business in New Hampshire.
