Budget passes House and Senate

14 March 2010

Today the Virginia House of Delegates and Senate passed a new state budget that includes a three percent Medicaid provider cut in fiscal year (FY) 2011 and four percent in FY 2012. The proposed cuts would apply to physicians, hospitals, nursing homes, dentists and other providers. It is anticipated that these cuts will be prevented through additional federal Medicaid funding to the states which is expected to approved by Congress. No cuts to Medicaid managed care organizations were included in the budget. MSV will provide members with more detailed budget analysis on Mon., March 15.
