In recent months, we've seen an alarming trend that could have devastating effects on behavioral healthcare providers and the communities they serve. Specifically, providers in Minnesota and Kentucky are facing crippling Medicaid rate cuts, with other states potentially following suit. These cuts not only threaten the stability of our healthcare systems but also jeopardize the welfare of countless individuals who rely on these essential services. As we delve into this pressing issue, it’s critical to understand the broader implications and rally for solutions that support both providers and recipients alike. For a more in-depth analysis of how these changes are affecting providers in Kentucky, follow the link to our Atlantic Insights article. https://lnkd.in/eUCbpp75

We loved connecting with old friends and new, and can't wait until next time.
