The participation of health professionals is
essential to the Medicaid health care delivery
system. In FY 2004, more than half of all
eligible Medicaid recipients received physician
services. Nurse midwives, nurse practitioners
and physician assistants provide services under
physician supervision in a variety of clinical
settings. Chiropractors and podiatrists provide
services to Qualified Medicaid Beneficiaries (QMBs)
or as the result of an EPSDT child health
screening.
