IADSA Advocating for Increased Rate
As you may recall, we were successful in getting a rate increase for ADS and the transportation rate in 2023 into the State Budget. Fast forward to 2025 and inflation and other financial pressures leave us needing additional increases.
We have spent the entire legislative session, which enters its final month next week, lobbying for an ADS rate and transportation rate increase.
Cynthia Cunningham, IADSA Advocacy Chair, and Jason Speaks, IADSA Executvie Director, testified before both the Senate and House Appropriations-Human Services Committees and the legislative Medicaid Work Group, urging support for inclusion of a rate increase in the State Budget.
