New York must fill the nursing home Medicaid funding gap. SHARE this important message to help us reach @GovKathyHochul.
NY’s nursing home Medicaid rates fall short, covering only 75% of costs. This has led to an $810M annual funding gap & hinders homes’ ability to find quality staff. @GovKathyHochul, NY must fill the nursing home Medicaid funding gap! #NYHealthBudgetGap
READ today's op-ed by our chief clinical officer of Elderplan/HomeFirst➡️"Whenever budgets get tight, politicians look to Medicaid spending for cuts.... Albany needs to recognize the importance of critical services now & in the future by preserving & protecting MLTC plans."
“During times of austerity, there are always some who wish to undermine [Managed Long Term Care (MLTC)] programs. That would be extremely detrimental for tens of thousands of vulnerable New Yorkers.”
