4/18/16 Group Watch: AL Already Feeling Medicaid Cuts

The passed General Fund Budget underfunds Medicaid by $85 million for the upcoming fiscal year. Cuts to the program will likely result in lower physician payments and the elimination of optional programs including prescription drug coverage for adults. Dothan Pediatrics had opened a temporary facility in rural Ozark while a permanent facility was to be constructed. The new facility would bring jobs and better access to healthcare to children. The project is now on hold, and without adequate funding, the temporary arrangement may also go away.
