  • Kushman, John E.

Abstract

An economic model of the physician's choice whether or not to treat patients in the Medicaid program is presented. Hypotheses derived from the model are tested using data from California's Medicaid program. Variations in Physician participation between urban and rural areas and the associated variations in access are examined. The impacts of federal and state health manpower programs on physician participation and access to cure are discussed.
