Re: Governor Paterson proposes to make cuts in Early Intervention Program
_______________________________________________________________________________
Because of the very serious NYS budget crisis, Governor Paterson has proposed that there be significant cuts in the Early Intervention Program.
In addition, the Governor is proposing to require agencies to bill Medicaid and other insurance providers before recovering any monies from the County. This will result in payment delays to our therapists, and upon audit chargebacks to you.
We are asking all our therapists to contact their local state legislators listed below by phone or in writing to demonstrate their strong opposition to the proposed parent co-payment and other proposed changes in the Early Intervention Program. A sample letter is attached.
Your voice can and will make a difference.
