Please take a moment and complete this brief survey.
North Carolina Medicaid’s Program Evaluation Team recently released the 2022 NC Medicaid Annual Health Disparities Report (Link) which highlights health disparities identified within quality measures for the NC Medicaid beneficiary population. We are reaching out to you to see if you would be willing to review the 2022 NC Medicaid Annual Health Disparities Report and complete a brief survey to provide feedback (survey linked here).
The purpose of the 2022 NC Medicaid Annual Health Disparities Report is to not only identify disparities, but to highlight opportunities NC Medicaid and its partners have to address them. In addition to the full report, we released 6-page brief highlighting key takeaways from the report (Link).
NC Medicaid is committed to championing equitable health outcomes for the 3 million North Carolinians it serves and acknowledges that progress requires active community and partner involvement. As this is the first year that this report has been released, it is critical to engage with partners, like yourself, to shape this important annual report into a responsive, partner-engaged, useful, and relevant tool.
The survey will be open until Monday April 14th 2025. You do not have to review the entire 2022 Annual Health Disparities Report to provide feedback; we are grateful for any level of engagement you have the capacity to offer.
Please contact [email protected] with any questions or concerns regarding the report or survey. Please also feel free to pass along this email/survey link to anyone who might be interested in leaving feedback on the NC Medicaid Annual Health Disparities Report. We look forward to receiving your feedback!
I dropped out of Medicaid due to the disparity of pay to me & my mid level providers. Doctor pay was cut to 80% of Medicare. Mid level pay decreased to 60% of Medicare. Meanwhile, UNC Hospital network of dermatologists got a massive increase in pay because of a “special arrangement”. If you plan to expand Medicaid & your community providers are not delivering care due to this massive pay disparity, have you really expanded Medicaid?
When Medicaid went to commercial insurance plans (managed Medicaid), this also increased our administrative burdens as a private practice.
We took Medicaid for 8 years in Raleigh & in Rocky Mount serving many indigent families in Eastern NC. When we wrote asking for assistance, we were not helped but instead told how we were doing things wrong. You helped UNC dermatologists with a pay increase & you cut our pay & gave us increased administrative burden with managed Medicaid.
