Governor Purdue released her new budget but this is only the beginning of the process and endeavor to infuse money into a sinking ship. The industry has been working with the Department of Health and Human Services to develop a wavier program on the federal level to satisfy the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare who have been upset over the inequity in the Adult Care provision of personal services and the Home Health provision of personal services to name one of their concerns.
They will propose to take the 9 million in state and county special assistance money found in the Governor's budget and pull down additional federal matching money in an attempt to infuse at least $200.00 more per resident per month a much needed boost in payment for care.
On my next posting I will explore current reimbursement and why it is so vital to put additional money into Adult Care Homes where a majority of our elderly and disabled who need 24 hour care find themselves.
