University Of Virginia Health System Makes Change For WV
WEST VIRGINIA....
According to Beckley Appalachian Regional Hospital CEO Rocco Massey, The University of Virginia Health System has announced that, after December 1st, West Virginians on Medicaid won't be reimbursed if they use the facilities in Charlottesville. Massey says UVA can no longer afford to provide services at the rate paid by the state, which is 66 cents on the dollar. Massey suggests that some of the state's surplus in the rainy day fund could be used to increase the rate at which Medicaid pays for health care.
