SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Medicaid reimbursement. Directs the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission (JLARC) to study Medicaid reimbursement of physicians. The Commission's study shall include, but need not be limited to, an analysis of (i) the appropriateness of current reimbursement levels and methods of payment for the various physician specialties; (ii) how physician reimbursement in Virginia compares to that in other states; (iii) whether changes in the amount and method of reimbursement are needed to compensate physicians adequately for their services; and (iv) the estimated cost, if any, of any recommended changes in the amount of physician reimbursement. The Commission must complete its work and provide a preliminary report to the Governor and the chairmen of the Senate Committee on Finance, the House Committee on Appropriations, and the Joint Commission on Health Care by November 1, 2002. Thereafter, the Commission will submit its formal and written report to the Governor and the 2003 Session of the General Assembly.

This resolution was continued to the 2003 Session of the General Assembly in the House Committee on Rules.
