To the Honorable, the Assembly:
The attached report is submitted in accordance with s.49.45(2)(a)21 of the Wis. Stats., which directs the Department of Health and Family Services to report annually on Wisconsin Medicaid recipient access to obstetric and pediatric services. The report outlines the variety of federal and state mandates and initiatives that have been established to encourage increased provisions of these important services by physicians and other professions and increased use of medical services by children and pregnant women who receive Medicaid.
I am pleased to advise you that for the eighth consecutive year, Wisconsin's State Plan Amendment, which assures the federal Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) that Wisconsin Medicaid recipients have access to pediatric and obstetric care equal to that of the general population, has been approved by HCFA.
Access to pediatric and obstetric care for Medicaid recipients will continue as a focus of Departmental efforts.
Sincerely,
joe leean
