Maryland ranks 43rd in Medicaid scorecard

(The Center Square) – Maryland ranks 43rd in a new 50-state Medicaid scorecard as the state manages continued Medicaid costs and prepares thousands of residents for new federal work and eligibility requirements. The Heartland Institute gave Maryland 32 out of 100 points in its Medicaid Report Card, which compares states using 16 measures covering enrollment, spending, oversight and access to healthcare providers. Maryland received 10 of 36 points for program design and enrollment and 6 of 26 for fiscal sustainability. The state received 9 of 24 points for program integrity and administrative oversight and 7 of 14 for its provider environment. The report credited Maryland for its managed care system, all-payer claims database, independent practice for nurse practitioners and participation in the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact. It gave the state lower marks for Medicaid expansion, five-year spending growth of 7.21%, Medicaid fraud-control enforcement and certificate-of-need laws. Heartland is a free-market policy organization whose scorecard favors a more targeted Medicaid program. Under its methodology, states that have not expanded Medicaid can receive 12 points for that measure, while expansion states receive none. Maryland expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act in 2014, extending eligibility to more low-income adults. The report also
