ACTION NEEDS TO START
The Agency for Persons with Disabilities and the Health Appropriations Committee are starting preliminary meetings in the next few days. They are not making any final decisions now on the current budget cuts, but it is critical that we email them with our concerns of reducing the difference it pays between solo providers and agencies to no more then 20%. For Behavior Analysis agencies this could be a 20 to 23% rate cut starting next year. I have put together some "talking points" with some local Behavior Analysis Providers. Please use this when emailing your concerns. Also another beneficial affect would be to make appointments to your local representatives that are on the Health Appropriations Committee and talk to them on a more personable level. I have attached an excel sheet with the names and contact information for them. Please email them through the website http://www.myfloridahouse.gov/Sections/Representatives/representatives.aspx If you email them directly the email may bounce back. It's important to discuss the "financial impact" that would occur if Behavior Analysis rates were cut this severely.
Thank you!
