In 1999, over 38 million Americans were enrolled in Medicaid. About 33 million of those enrolled in Medicaid were elderly, while other 5 million consisted of disabled individuals. In 2003, trend remains similar. Of over 40 million individuals enrolled, over 34 million consisted of elderly, while slightly fewer than 6 million individuals were disabled.
The point is that, in general, those enrolled in Medicaid (statistically elderly and disabled) also require more medical care than other low-income families or individuals. That means that if a medical service provider is unable to react to Medicaid billing needs, then that medical service provider will be unable to assist not only large demographic of Medicaid-enrolled individuals but also many elderly and disabled-two of most medically-needy demographics.
