Sidebar: Medicaid by the Numbers
Jun 3, 2008,
The Oklahoma Health Care Authority implemented a centralized management system for its Medicaid program. The system, implemented in 2003, tracks inappropriate emergency room (ER) use and allows doctors to submit Medicaid claims electronically. The state reports the following results:
- A 42 percent reduction in ER visits by Medicaid patients, resulting in savings of $8.3 million.
- The automated system now handles roughly 95 percent of the 3 million claims processed annually Oklahoma's Medicaid program.
- Nearly 10 percent growth in the number of doctors willing to treat Medicaid patients from 2004 to 2007.
