""We were hopeful to continue, but the realities of Medicaid spending being in the crosshairs of the state budget process made that impossible," Andrew Dawley, president and CEO of Community Counseling of Bristol County, wrote in a statement."
""The layoffs come after a reduction in federal funds for care management across the state and the removal of the state mandate requiring Accountable Care Organizations to contract with them.""
""Innovative Care Partners, a consortium that includes the Center for Human Development, said the cuts will disrupt care coordination for 3,500 clients.""
""The Massachusetts Fiscal Year 2026 budget process involved severe proposed cuts to care management, particularly within the Department of Mental Health.""
Three human service organizations in Massachusetts will lay off a total of 200 employees due to funding losses for care management providers. Community Counseling of Bristol County will cut 52 jobs, Community Healthlink will eliminate 78 positions, and Innovative Care Partners will reduce its workforce by 70. These layoffs are a result of reduced federal funding and the removal of a state mandate for Accountable Care Organizations. The cuts will disrupt care for thousands of clients across the state.
