As of May 1, 2015, there will be a 16.75% reimbursement cut for private duty nursing, along with most other services, in Illinois. These devastating cuts have the potential to lead to severe medical consequences and forced hospitalization of our kids.
We are just beginning a fight against these changes. We have created a document, Facts and Figures on Medicaid Reimbursement Cuts and Private Duty Nursing, that explains these changes and their potential impact on nursing agencies and families.
