NH Families Fight Back on Nursing Cuts | Concord News

Published 2 weeks, 1 day ago
Description

New Hampshire’s Medicaid MCOs are reversing cuts to life-saving home nursing hours for medically complex kids after furious parent-led protests. Families in the Katie Beckett Program faced sudden, often unjustified, reductions — including one case where a 20-year-old’s 50 hours of care vanished overnight. Governor Ayotte intervened, forcing MCOs to halt any cuts without DHHS approval. The state is now reviewing 13 reinstated cases and probing others for inappropriate cuts, while also tackling the underlying nursing shortage that threatens these families’ stability.
