Legislative Alert re: Medicaid

2/23/2025

0 Comments

 
The Public Policy and Legislative Committee is reaching out to ask you to consider submitting written or verbal testimony for H.B. 6864, An Act Concerning the State Budget for the Biennium.  This bill is going before the Appropriates Human Services subcommittee hearing next Friday, 2/28.  This bill outlines the state budget through 2027.  The state budget does not currently allow for an increase in Medicaid rates, despite the findings of the study (which showed that Medicaid behavioral health rates in CT were lower as compared to 5 other Medicaid states). If you plan to submit written or sign up so provide oral testimony, please do so prior to the hearing which starts, Friday, February 28th at 10am.  

What we are asking of CCA Members:
We would like CCA Members to consider submitting written or verbal testimony.  Below you will find a Word template put together by CCA Lobbyist Brian Sullivan.  The sections highlighted in Yellow need to be filled in by you to customize the letter. 

Instructions for submitting written testimony:
