MITCHELL, S.D. (MITCHELLNOW) A proposed rule from South Dakota’s Department of Social Services has LifeScape sounding the alarm. The nonprofit says the change could slash its Medicaid funding by $10 million a year, an 80 percent cut, threatening therapy services for more than 3,300 children and families. LifeScape provides specialized care that helps kids walk, talk, and eat, and argues its programs don’t fit a one-size-fits-all model.
