The Budget was posted last night around midnight. Below is a copy of the SA provision. Our rates have been reduced by $25.00 per resident per month effective October 1, 2009.
Medicaid rates will be at the digression of the DHHS Secretary Lanier Cansler.
It is a very large Bill . . . it will take me all day to read. I will post other information as I am able to review and determine what else affects us.
Thank you for all you do to help our residents.
