MACPAC Fears Primary Care Pay Hike Burden Outweighs Benefit-insidehealthpolicy: Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commissioners, at an April 11 meeting, pointed to administrative burdens that have come along with the change in rate setting, and Commissioner Mark Hoyt said it's impossible to overstate the complexity of the programmatic change and the amount of effort and cost spent on temporarily changing the Medicaid rates. Hoyt questioned if it makes sense, considering the amount of effort and time put into changing the rates, to rip it up after two years. Those paying for the change are going to say, “You've got to be freaking kidding me, we're spending a bloody fortune on this -- for what, to change the rates by a buck or two...This is a nightmare,” Hoyt warned commissioners.
