Do you understand how the federal Medicaid cuts will impact your neonatal/pediatric practice? If not, check out a recording of yesterday's @neotecan webinar on House Resolution 1. Roughly 75% of the decreased state Medicaid funding will impact children.

Local @AmerAcadPeds chapters lead push to include G6PD screening in Newborn Screening-new mandates are race-based, vague & hard to implement. RT @AAPneonatal @runhack @DrRobertCLee @DrWarrenSeigel @eveamk @DrSaraSiddiqui1 @suannekowal @DrSteveCook @SteveGoldstei10 @DocEMurray
Proud to lead push back on vague, race-based NYS G6PD screening guidelines on behalf of @NYSAAPCH2 @NYSAAPCH3 @NY1AAP @AAPneonatal pediatricians & neonatologists. Preventing bilirubin injury is important, but the answer is newborn screening. RT @DrMaryTBassett @HealthNYGov

It takes 3 minutes to call 📱 📞 your state legislators & explain the need for a strong Medicaid program for kids. RT @eveamk @DrSaraSiddiqui1 @SteveGoldstei10 @DrStager @DrHinaTalib @DrRobertCLee @cabanam @DrJulieDunbar @DrVSalcedo @DrMGrageda @kidnyhealth @DocEMurray @ElBeeDoc
Combined @NYSAAPCH2 @NYSAAPCH3 @NY1AAP issue "First Look" at @GovKathyHochul Budget," featuring Medicaid post-partum coverage for Moms through 1 yr. BUT NO continuous Medicaid for children 0-3 yrs. Call your legislators & let them know why kids & families need this provision.
