Something to Celebrate – Medicaid Services to the Elderly Preserved

We all have something to celebrate this season! Terry Dougherty, the Interim Medicaid Director of Massachusetts, notified the elder law bar that the adult dental program, podiatry services, PCA services, and day habilitation services will all remain intact and provided without limitations or restructuring of the benefit!

Rates will not be reduced for day habilitation programs, adult foster care, community health centers, and clinical labs. There will be no additional co-payments on office visits, dental services or non-emergency transportation, and co-pays will not be increased on the pharmacy products.

This change is the result of unexpected revenues from a significant tax settlement. Follow this link to the press release issued by Governor Patrick: http://is.gd/5eXbf

Happy Monday!
