FHCA Provider Program - Working to Protect Nursing Center Funding

This week's Provider Program highlights activity surrounding the House and Senate budget proposals and its potential impact on the budget conference and sine die. As we've been reporting, there is ongoing debate surrounding Medicaid expansion and the hospital Low Income Pool program.  As lawmakers maintain their differences over whether the state should take federal money to expand the Medicaid program, FHCA is working to protect the Medicaid line item for nursing center care and ensure this critical funding remains intact throughout budget negotiations.
