This amendment provides $253,376 from the general fund and $791,234 in nongeneral funds the first year and $262,491 from the general fund and $813,458 in nongeneral funds the second year to increase Medicaid reimbursement for anesthesiologists to 70 percent of the equivalent Medicare rate in the fee for service and managed care programs. The intent of the 2019 General Assembly was to increase Medicaid reimbursement to 70 percent of the equivalent Medicare fee to physicians who were reimbursed less than 70 percent of Medicare rates.The anesthesiologists qualified for this increase but were inadvertently left out of the budget language. This amendment will correct that and bring them up to 70 percent of the Medicare rate.
