A Florida Funding Error Is Putting Children’s Care at Risk. Pediatric Associates Is Taking Action
Florida families who rely on Medicaid are at risk of losing access to everyday, primary pediatric care. An actuarial error by the state has created a crisis that is draining millions from Florida’s pediatric care system.
The state understands the problem but has done nothing to fix it – we’ve taken legal action to stand up for families and to demand that Florida resolve this crisis.
New Poll of Floridians on Medicaid
A new poll found that Floridians who rely on Medicaid are widely concerned about recent changes to funding for primary pediatric care, with 3 in 4 believing that patients pay the price when doctors aren’t paid enough to cover the cost of care – and most believing Florida’s government should be responsible for resolving the issue.
