Providers ‘stuck holding the bag’ for unpaid disability care amid agency delays

Budget woes, administrative delays at the DDA are causing disruptions in Medicaid coverage for some of Maryland’s most vulnerable

After more than two years of erroneous Medicaid disenrollments, communication challenges and slow responses from state agencies, the nonprofits and companies providing developmental disability services say they are nearing a financial breaking point.

Developmental disability service providers say they won’t be able to absorb the costs of months of unpaid care much longer while their clients wait for Medicaid coverage to be restored by the state. Some organizations believe they’re owed hundreds of thousands to more than a million dollars for unpaid services due to lengthy lapses in Medicaid coverage.
