Modern Healthcare reports:
“North Carolina wants to entice more providers to treat its Medicaid population by paying off their debts. The state is also looking at imposing premiums and work requirements on Medicaid enrollees. The proposals were made in an amendment to the state’s pending Medicaid waiver that would allow it to shift the program from fee-for service to managed care by 2019. The policy suggestions are also coming at a time when some state lawmakers are mulling Medicaid expansion.”
