That's a pretty huge reduction, and lots of people I've spoken too across Florida are now being put in a position where clients may no longer be able to obtain services due to how substantial these cuts are.
If you're a provider in Florida, please take a moment to do something about this. You can use FABA's Action Center portal to send a message to legislators and it wouldn't hurt to post a message to your social.
Thanks for your time in reading this and hopefully this proposed set of rate cuts isn't finalized. Good luck, providers and consumers of behavior analysis with Medicaid in FL.
