Short title on that one is “Statewide Expansion of 1915(b)(c) Waiver.”
It is sending our local LME into a reorganization frenzy while merging with another LME to raise the patient cap and, thus, the Medicaid funding allowance.
The apparent change will be in administration over a larger area and population. I do not know the outcome at the local service level.
Sitting on the board for Orange-Person-Chatham Mental Health, I wish that the LME succeed in its efforts. However, if the waiver was created by Obamacare and the results will be as forecasted, I can only act to bandage the current health delivery model, not correct it.
I need a new, workable model, not just reports showing flaws in our present system.
