Fragmented Geographic Distribution of Providers Suggests Limited Access to Basic Health Care for Dual Medicaid-Medicare Beneficiaries

Year: 2025

Type: other

Abstract: Outpatient care for people dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid is heavily concentrated among a small number of clinicians and clinical practices. These practices are geographically dispersed, with substantial within-state variation and large areas where no practices routinely serve this population. Although Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and Rural Health Clinics (RHCs) are traditionally considered the primary providers of outpatient safety net care, they deliver only 9% of these services to dually eligible individuals.
