DCH Approves 10% Medicaid Rate Increase for HCBS 

On June 10, the Georgia Department of Community Health (DCH) Board approved the Medicaid 10% rate increases for the Elderly & Disabled Waiver Programs (CCSP & SOURCE). This rate increase was approved by the legislature in the SFY 2022 budget and signed by the Governor.
 
Your HCAOA Georgia Chapter played an important role in getting this rate increase through the legislature and subsequent approval by the Governor. Thanks to our chapter lobbyist, Rusty Paul, for his advocacy efforts, and for creating the opportunities for us to present our story to key legislators.
