Kentucky Governor Reverses 4% Medicaid Provider Rate Cuts

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear announced a reversal of the state's previously enacted 4% Medicaid provider rate cuts. The move follows criticism of the original cuts' impact on disability services and other providers. Beshear cautioned that the reversal would not immediately resolve all provider concerns, saying the change is not "a magic wand" or "a magic bullet." Managed care organizations operating in Kentucky should expect updated rate schedules reflecting the restored funding levels.
