For the report, Medscape surveyed 1,017 physicians in more than 29 specialties from March 20 to May 15.
A number of physician groups and health systems have made the decision to drop Medicaid and Medicare patients over the last several years as reimbursement rates have continued to decline.
Still, 42% of physicians feel obligated to take on at least some Medicaid patients, according to the report.
About 18% said physicians should take on Medicaid patients once states improve programs and reimbursements.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
