Sample Message:

Dear Legislator,

I am asking you to support and incorporate HB4893 into this year’s Medicaid Omnibus bill.

Behavioral health providers need clear and consistent standards for Medicaid Managed Care pre- and post-payment reviews. Current practices create unnecessary administrative burdens and payment recoupments that take time and resources away from direct client care.

HB4893 would improve transparency, consistency, and efficiency while helping protect access to critical behavioral health services for Illinois families.

Please support including HB4893 in the final Medicaid Omnibus bill.

Thank you for your consideration.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
