ACTION ALERT Contact the House Ways and Means Committee to Avoid Elimination of Waivers and Other Programs
ACTION ALERT Contact the House Ways and Means Committee to Avoid Elimination of Waivers and Other Programs The legislature is expected to meet in Special Session beginning on February 14, 2016 to address the budget shortfall for this fiscal year and next. On January 27th the Department of Health and Hospitals (DHH) announced that $131 million in cuts would be implemented if the Legislature failed to find additional revenues to address this year's anticipated shortfall. Two options to address the budget shortfall were included in the press release, one of which eliminates: All waiver services for people with developmental disabilities impacting 11,678 current recipients (NOW, Children's Choice, Supports Waiver, ROW) All waiver services for seniors and people with adult-onset disabilities impacting 6,481 current recipients (Community Choices and Adult Day Health Care) Medicaid Long Term Personal Care Services impacting 17,300 current recipients Intermediate Care Facilities for People with Developmental Disabilities impacting 4,914 current residents Other optional Medicaid programs such as Hospice, Hemodialysis, Pediatric Day Health Care, and the "medically necessary override" provision to the adult pharmacy prescription limit. Both options include a reduction in the payments to Bayou Health insurers. All state revenue matters are heard in the House Ways and Means Committee. If these DHH services are important to you, now is the time to let committee members know. And if you have not already done so, contact your state representative and senator as well.
