AUSTIN — The Texas Medicaid program, under pressure from lawmakers, is again proposing significant cuts in pay for therapists who treat more than a quarter-million disabled children and elderly Texans.
On Friday, the Texas Association for Home Care & Hospice said the reimbursement reductions would have dire consequences, disrupting care for tens of thousands of vulnerable children, especially in rural parts of the state.
Pay cuts for certain services would be nearly 26 percent, said Rachel Hammon, the association’s executive director.
