So I'll actually start with where she ended.
1:30:43
So any advocacy that we could help each other on with increasing the Medicaid rates, would love that because I've been trying to do that for a while.
1:30:51
And I've actually, thankfully, Anne Sullivan, at least on the OMH side, has been very open to that.
1:30:58
She totally gets it and recognizes that on the state level.
1:31:01
Not only do we need to increase the rates, but also expand the types of services that get reimbursed that are not in the codes right now, which desperately we need to do the work.
1:31:10

Linda Lee
1:31:12
love that.
