This article assessed Medicaid physician fees between 2003 and 2008. On average, fees increased 15.1 percent which was below the rate of general inflation and resulted in a reduction in real fees. Medicaid fees closed a small portion of their gap relative to Medicare fees, resulting from increases in primary care and obstetrics.
