North Dakota is a rural state and studies have indicated that in some instances it can be hard to find certain types of health care providers, regardless of what insurance a person might have.
Comments will be used as part of a process that will measure and track access to health care providers and services.
There are five areas where feedback is needed:
- Primary care services (provided by a physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, federally-qualified health center, clinic, or dental provider)
- Physician specialty services (cardiology, urology, and radiology)
- Behavioral health services (mental health and substance abuse services)
- Pre and post-natal childbirth services (pregnancy, child birth, and post-delivery care)
- Home health services (transition services from a hospital to a home setting)
Feedback Welcome
Medicaid recipients can share comments about access to health care providers and services by sending an email to ndmedicaid@nd.gov.
Individuals can also use the email address to inform North Dakota Medicaid about any challenges they face in accessing health care from service providers who accept Medicaid.
