Urge Elected Officials to Reform and Invest in Nursing Home Medicaid Methodology

LeadingAge New York is calling on New York policy makers to INCREASE and REFORM nursing home Medicaid reimbursement and REJECT the Governor’s Budget cuts. The Assembly and Senate have stood up for nursing home residents by proposing a meaningful increase in Medicaid rates, but we need the Legislature and the Governor to include a 10.5% increase, rebasing and no cuts in the final budget agreement.

We strongly encourage our nursing home members to contact their state Assembly Member and Senator and urge them to INCREASE and REFORM nursing home Medicaid reimbursement in the final budget for SFY 2024-25!

Take action TODAY for our nursing home residents!
