LUTHERVILLE, Md., Aug. 28, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
What: Maryland families, elected officials,
and healthcare professionals will
discuss the growing crisis stemming
from the lack of access to home care
nursing services for children and
adults living with disabilities.
Many children and adults with
disabilities have received doctors'
prescriptions and insurance
authorizations for in-home nursing
care, but can't get reliable care.
This town hall will explore the
challenges families face when care
is not available, and how the State
of Maryland can help ease the
crisis. One concern is that
Maryland's low Medicaid
reimbursement rates, especially in
comparison with neighboring states,
make it difficult for health care
providers to recruit and retain
enough quality nurses to serve the
families relying on this care. A
state-appointed task force is
studying the issues and holding its
next meeting September 26 in
Baltimore.
