ABSTRACT
There is evidence that people who are insured by Medicaid have difficulty accessing health care from private providers. This study documents access to dermatology care for a hypothetical patient insured by Medicaid in the State of Hawai'i. Posing as young Medicaid patient with a changing mole, we called all dermatologists listed on the American Academy of Dermatology website and requested an appointment to be seen. Only 23% of dermatologists contacted accept all Medicaid plans and an additional 12% accept some. Thus 65% of dermatologists called do not provide specialist care to Hawai'i's Medicaid population.
