🚨 ACTION ALERT: Medicaid Waiver Services Are at Risk (Please Read Full Post)
*****UPDATE: This afternoon Medicaid announced a 4% across the board rate cut for ALL WAIVERS******
Cuts to reimbursement rates don't just affect providers; they also affect families that support loved ones through the PDS service option.
Waiver service reimbursement rate cuts will result in:
❌ Reduced access to services
❌ Longer waiting lists
❌ Decreased wages for caregiving/support professionals
❌ Increased workforce shortages
❌ Increased costly institutional placements
❌ Potential program closures
Please take 2 minutes today to contact Governor Beshear and ask him to protect Kentucky's 1915(c) waiver services. Contact the Governor here: https://governor.ky.gov/contact/contact-us
Suggested message:
"Governor Beshear, please do not make cuts to 1915(c) Medicaid Waiver reimbursement rates. Waiver services support more than 20,000 vulnerable Kentuckians. The 4% rate reduction will put services, providers, and individuals at risk. Please save our 1915(c) waiver services!"
Every email matters. Every voice matters.
📢 Act today and help protect the waiver services Kentucky's most vulnerable citizens depend on.
