As the year draws to a close, the WHCA/WiCAL PAC needs your help to reach our 2023 goal.

Please Donate Today to Help the WHCA/WiCAL PAC End the Year Strong!

Right now, the WHCA/WiCAL PAC is about $5,000 short of its 2023 fundraising goal. The December Donor Dash is an effort to meet our PAC fundraising goal so we are well-positioned to start the new year off with much-needed campaign funds as Wisconsin heads into an important election year. PAC donations are more critical than ever before.

WHCA/WiCAL and our members have seen many successes through the current legislative/budget session, including:

SNF Medicaid Reimbursement

• Maintaining the Medicaid funding increases that nursing facilities received in the 2021-23 state budget for the Direct Care-Nursing cost center to maintain the payment standard of the median facility cost + 25%;
• An additional $146 million in state and federal funds for the Support Services cost center, to set a standard of the median facility cost + 25%;
• $31 million in state and federal funds to ensure that nursing home provider incentives actually serve as incentives by having incentives calculated outside of a facility’s total rate;
• $10 million in state and federal funds to increase reimbursement for nursing facility-based ventilator care;

Family Care Funding

For Family Care providers, $264 million in additional state and federal funding, including:

• $38.5 million for the Direct Care Workforce Fund, and
• $226 million over the biennium to maintain a 5% cost-to-continue increase for HCBS.

Workforce

• $2 million in state funds to continue Wisconsin’s WisCaregiver Careers nurse aide training and certification program.

These impressive results did not occur by accident, and our advocacy efforts require a constant infusion of financial resources that only our members can provide.

As 2023 draws to a close, it is imperative that providers assemble the resources to continue to build on our successes.

By contributing to the WHCA/WiCAL PAC, you are investing in the future of long-term care in Wisconsin.

Extending the reach of our PAC means we’ll have greater opportunities to communicate with legislators the LTC provider community’s legislative concerns, which will translate to a more favorable outlook for the future of long-term care.
