For dates of service on or after August 1, 2016, Alabama Medicaid will end enhanced payments to primary care physicians. This cut is due to budget constraints at Medicaid.
Payments for certain primary care services and for vaccine administration services under the Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program will be affected.
To view the current fee schedule with non-enhanced rates visit the Alabama Medicaid Agency’s website here: http://medicaid.alabama.gov/CONTENT/6.0_Providers/6.6_Fee_Schedules.aspx.
