Action Alert - Medicaid Providers from Joint Insurance Committee

MEDICAID PROVIDER RATE CUT
June 10, 2010

THE ISSUE

In the 2009 legislative session, the General Assembly gave the Secretary of Health and Human Services the authority to reduce Medicaid provider rates to accomplish reduction in funds that were put into the budget. The provision did say access to care should be considered. Because the budget was not passed until after the close of the fiscal year, the cuts were implemented over 9 months rather than 12 months. The result was a 9% rate cut. The cut achieved the budgeted savings of $76.4M and more.
