HD6 - Study of Medicaid Recipients' Direct Access to Obstetric and Gynecological Services


Executive Summary:
The Department was requested to study Medicaid recipients’ direct access to obstetric and gynecological services. The Department reviewed claims data prior to the 1991 implementation of MEDALLION, the primary care physician managed care program and data prior to the 1995 implementation of managed care under health maintenance organizations. We also reviewed our Medicaid contracted providers to determine if there were providers of obstetric and gynecological services available in each city and county.
