Details On Health Department Budget Restoration Expected This Week
More details on Governor Steve Bullock’s plan to restore parts of the state budget are expected this week.
On Tuesday, the state health department says it will issue a new rule that will restore a nearly 3 percent cut to how much it pays doctors, clinics and other health care providers who see Medicaid patients, retroactive to July 1 of this year. That’s two months ahead of when the department initially said providers could expect that rate restoration.
