Competing claims over Medicaid coverage are blocking some Texans from getting mammograms
WASHINGTON — Texas doctors are turning away poor women who are eligible for digital mammograms because they say the state Medicaid program won’t pay for the procedure, although officials claim the program does.
Texas health officials said in December 2005 that they would use state-administered Medicaid money to pay for mammograms that use new digital technology. But the state admits that it has failed to give doctors a clear way to bill for the procedure.
We have a million things going on but I caught this today and just found it hilarious that the state says yes, they cover it but maybe they didn’t tell anyone how they could bill it so they could get paid. Too funny.
