Success Stories
Snow Strategies has assisted corporate and non-profit clients in both the government and private sectors. Here are a few examples of pathways we have cleared for clients:
- Abolished a prior authorization program for Medicaid therapy services by identifying problems with the program and selected contractors and communicating that to agency heads and lawmakers.
- Successfully eliminated a $671,000 funding reduction to the state Early Steps program during a special session of the 2009 Legislature.
- Convinced a private health plan to drop unnecessary audits of providers;
- Successfully expedited payment of over $100,000 in Medicaid “paper claim” payments that were due to our client, but held up by the state’s new Medicaid fiscal agent.
- Formed a successful non-profit statewide organization that represents pediatric therapy practices.
- Successfully lobbied for 2008 legislation requiring health insurance companies to provide coverage for children with autism spectrum disorder and related disabilities.
- Passed legislation mandating a 10 percent Medicaid rate increase for Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care providers, the industry’s only increase in 20 years.
- Secured new state agency rules that allow licensed practical nurses to assist RNs in certain health care settings.
- Obtained $692,000 in new state Medicaid transportation funding that would help medically fragile children to day treatment centers.
- Stopped the development of a Medicaid transportation handbook that stood to hurt our clients.
