The Medicaid Benefits Online Database has "survey data from 2003 and 2004 with information about benefits covered, limits, co-payments and reimbursement methodologies for the 50 states, the District of Columbia and the Territories."

You can search by state or by services to see what is covered in each state, whether there is a copayment requirement, prior approval requirement, an coverage limitation, reimbursement methodology, and what populations are covered.

The tends to have quite a few abbreviations at times so make sure you click on the abbreviations link up at the top of the page. There are also options to email the information and reformat it to a printer friendly format.

This site along with another I blogged about (June 3, 2005) National Association of Health Underwriters (NAHU) www.nahu.org/consumer/healthcare can be particularily useful to public librarians and consumer health librarians. Another user population would be a hospital's patient billing and social workers. Healthcare social workers can help get uninsured patients signed up to Medicare or Medicaid.
