Dear Medicaid Provider:
To date, the Legislature has failed to reach an agreement on the
budget for State Fiscal Year 2010. Unfortunately, it appears that
the Legislature has left approximately a $34 million deficit in
the Division of Medicaids budget in FY 2009.
budget for State Fiscal Year 2010. Unfortunately, it appears that
the Legislature has left approximately a $34 million deficit in
the Division of Medicaids budget in FY 2009.
The current year deficit is due, in part, to a significant increase in
the number of beneficiaries since March 2009 and a similar increase in
benefit utilization. We notified the Legislature of our budget situation
for FY 2009, but they have not appropriated any funds to cover this
deficit. As a result, the Division of Medicaid is unable to make any
more provider payments for the remainder of FY 2009.

Once the Legislature funds the program, clean claims will be paid. We ask
that you continue to serve our Medicaid beneficiaries and that you
continue to file your claims with ACS. Again, when funds are available,
providers clean claims will be reimbursed.
