🚨 As president pro tempore of VA’s state senate, @SenLouiseLucas D-Portsmouth, is the most powerful legislator in Virginia. Her Medicaid funded business has 200+ violations, 143 serious injuries, & 9 deaths to individuals with intellectual disabilities in City of Portsmouth.
Lucas is chair of the Virginia Senate Finance & Appropriations Committee, which oversees the state’s budget, taxation, and spending. She also serves on the Education and Health Committee, which oversees the Departments of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS), Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (DBHDS), and Health (VDH).
Lucas’s primary business, Lucas Lodge, LLC, is regulated by DBHDS and has been funded by Medicaid since 2005. It provides residential, transportation, and day-support services to individuals with intellectual disabilities in the City of Portsmouth. She serves as CEO and President of Lucas Lodge and owns the properties in which it provides services.
Since 2021, DBHDS inspectors have cited Lucas Lodge for 217 violations of Virginia law and regulations enacted in 2020 to comply with the court settlement. Most disturbingly, Lucas Lodge has been cited repeatedly for “systemic non-compliance,” including repeated failures to comply with mandated plans of correction for previous violations.
Sanctions directed under 12VAC30-122-120. Provider requirements:
D. Providers with a history of noncompliance can result in the mandatory initiation of proceedings to terminate the provider’s Medicaid participation agreement for serial violations of plans of correction. Lucas Lodge records show 46 citations for failure to implement corrective action plans in only five years. That seems to qualify it as a serial violator. But the 💰 keeps pouring in
