We are from Arizona and an entity of Medicaid is called Health Choice. They take 30-45 days for reimbursement or more, and do not pay well. Our patients have to be seen every 30 days. My physician is frustrated to wait so long for payment when we have to keep seeing these patients so often and the claims are racking up while the Money is not coming in.
Is it ok to tell the patient they cannot have their next visit until their Medicaid pays for the last? We are one of the only pain management clinics that accepts this insurance in our county and other physicians have been dropping them like crazy because of the difficulties with reimbursements. I'm just concerned there may be some type of liability issue behind it. thoughts??
