The Obama administration has approved a request to cut Medicaid payments to California healthcare providers, including nursing homes, by 10%, which will mean $623 million in less reimbursement over the next two years.
Although Gov. Jerry Brown (D) voluntarily withdrew several proposed cuts, the batch approved by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services includes a 10% reduction in payments to nursing homes, dentists, pharmacies and physicians, the Los Angeles Times reported. In asking for approval of the cuts, Brown was seeking to close the country's largest budget gap of $26.6 billion.
