Medicaid Notice
We have learned that, when it comes to procuring
vasectomy services, Medicaid can be more of
a hindrance than a benefit. Medicaid has a reputation of paying
so slowly that few doctors wish to participate. Certain county health
departments participate, but they may require referral authorizations
from the Medicaid primary care physicians, and getting a referral authorization
may be discouragingly slow. Dr. Stein is no longer a Medicaid
provider of vasectomy services because the reimbursement is
low ($143) and the paperwork unbearable. (Three claims were recently
denied because we used abbreviations: Dr. Stein's middle initial "G."
and "M.D.", rather than "George" and "Medical Doctor".) However,
some county health departments will offer Title 10 financial
assistance (see below) to men with Medicaid if there are no
local providers of vasectomy services under the Medicaid program.
Medicaid tries to shift all Medicaid patients to Medicaid HMO's,
sometimes without the Medicaid recipient even being aware of the shift.
Drs. Stein and Curington are not contracted providers with any Medicaid
HMOs, as some Medicaid HMO administrators have done exceptionally well
financially, and we do not want that financial success to be at our
expense.
