YOU DID IT!

Governor Beshear announced that budget surplus funds will be used to reverse the planned 4% reduction to Medicaid reimbursement rates. This means the proposed 4% cuts to Kentucky's Medicaid waiver services WILL NOT move forward this year. This is a tremendous victory for individuals, families, and providers!

This happened because of you!! Your advocacy made a difference.

Over the past several weeks, you answered every call to action. You contacted the Governor's Office, shared your stories, spoke with legislators, engaged on social media, and made it clear that these cuts would have had devastating consequences for the Kentuckians who rely on waiver services every day and the providers who support them.

Tell the Governor that the proposed 4% cut to Medicaid Waivers would put individuals, services, and providers at risk!

Suggested Message: Governor Beshear, please do not make cuts to 1915(c) Medicaid Waiver reimbursement rates. Waiver services support more than 20,000 vulnerable Kentuckians. A 4% rate reduction would put services, providers, and individuals at risk. Please save our 1915(c) waivers!

We've heard some confusion, so we want to provide an important update: As of today, the 4% reimbursement rate cuts to 1915(c) Medicaid Waivers HAVE NOT BEEN REVERSED.

While the Governor recently reversed decisions to make cuts to programs administered through the Department for Behavioral Health, those decisions do not apply to the 4% Medicaid Waiver reimbursement rate cuts. The Waiver rate cuts fall under the Department for Medicaid Services and remain scheduled to take effect on 8/1.

Our work is far from over. These cuts would have serious consequences for our Waivers and the Kentuckians with significant disabilities who rely on them.

Now is the time to speak up! Contact Governor Beshear and urge him to reverse the 4% Medicaid Waiver reimbursement cuts before they take effect.
