LUNA FAMILIES, I NEED YOUR HELP!
Action needed TODAY! Freestanding birth centers in Minnesota have been working tirelessly on bill SF2109 for equitable reimbursement for birth centers. This is the last day to help make a difference. Please contact your legislators and ask for their crucial support on the birth center reimbursement bill, SF2109 (Pappas) -- and to ask that this bill be included in SF2669, the Senate Health Omnibus Bill.
Our bill, Senate File 2109 (chief authored by Senator Pappas), aims to address and promote sustainable reimbursement for freestanding birth centers in Minnesota. This means ensuring they receive fair and equitable reimbursement for the maternity care services they provide -- reimbursement rates comparable to those that hospitals receive for the same services.
The bill was heard and passed in the MN Senate Health and Human Services Committee. It was then laid over for possible inclusion in the final package of healthcare bills called the omnibus bill, which is Senate File 2669 (chief authored by Senator Wiklund).
Please reach out reach to your legislators today by clicking this link: https://fastdemocracy.com/campaigns/0lS75xkoA/Call-to-Action--Support-Minnesota-s-Birth-Centers-/
It is an easy process and will only take about 2 minutes.
Our bill is at a critical point and we need MN State Senators to hear how important this bill is to the future of birth centers in Minnesota. Thank you all for supporting us and all freestanding birth centers in Minnesota!
Thank you!
