Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced a $775 million dollar budget reduction in the general revenue fund, effective immediately for the remainder of the fiscal year 2020, which ends June 30th.

The cuts are due to the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic and include $210 million from Medicaid. While that number is actually just a small percentage of the state's more than $17 billion budget, for the service for agencies that rely on that reimbursement to provide healthcare services, it's not just a drop in the bucket.

It's not clear yet which services the $210 million will be pulled, or if it will be split evenly among them all.

"I'm cautious to have people overreact right now, this is early in these budgetary discussions," said Carolyn Givens with Neil Kennedy Recovery Center.

At Neil Kennedy Recovery Center, they focus on behavioral health, and Givens says for them what's important is maintaining the "Medicaid expansion" that was introduced several years ago. This expansion made care available to more people.

"What I wouldn't want to see is for any population of Ohioans to be short-changed, or not have a benefit for health care," said Givens.

Especially, now during a time when the coronavirus pandemic is taking a toll on more than just physical health and finances, but mental health as well.

The non-profit, Alta Behavioral Health Care, also weighing in.

"Probably in the next 1, 2, 3 months were going to see a surge of people requesting mental health service and this is not a time where we can afford to not be able to meet that demand," said Joe Shorokey with Alta.

It's still not clear if the cuts will impact behavioral health services.

Here are the following cuts announced: Medicaid $210 million, K-12 Foundation payment reduction $300 million, other educational budget line items $55 million, higher education $110 million, all other agencies $100 million.
