title: Data file. Most Medicare plans to see only 2% rate hike in 1999.
abstract: Data File: You'll find HCFA's 1999 payment rates for 100 U.S. counties with the highest Medicare risk enrollment on page 108. Plus, is managed Medicaid losing its sizzle? A new study finds that declining payment rates and changes in state programs are driving commercial HMOs out of Medicaid risk. Although this may signal a market opportunity for Medicaid providers, researchers find that profit margins can be slim to none.
