Rate cuts canceled for Medicaid behavioral health providers

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Companies that offer behavioral health care to Medicaid patients will not face planned cuts.
The New Mexican reports reductions would have been implemented Sunday as a result of a state budget signed by Gov. Susana Martinez.
Medicaid faced cuts since drops in oil and gas revenue removed millions from the state budget.
It is unknown whether the $30-million was made up elsewhere after the rate cuts were eliminated.
