I feel I have entered the twilight zone.
First Mental Health Providers are working for free and hoping this managed care fiasco gets lined out. I have personally have not received a pay check for any Medicaid services since March 1 because the Health Care Authority sat on my contract until April 11th. April 1 Manged care kicked in so providers if they are getting paid are being paid at an incredibly reduced rate. Me personally have seen one $75 check for Medicaid since this fiasco.
So, yes there is already a huge shortage of health care providers in the state and now providers are quitting Medicaid clients because who can survive on working for free hoping things work out?
Also, I haven’t looked to see who the legislators were that wrote this atrocity of a bill SB36. But I am telling you anyone can call themselves a Chaplain and that puts your children in public school at danger of being perpetrated on.
I am a Christian and have dedicated my life to serving others and have worked very hard for my licenses and certifications. I am blessed and my God has taken care of me and provided for me.
However, I do not appreciate our legislation undermining the education, dedication, and qualifications of Mental Health providers in the State of Oklahoma.
