+Gov. Charlie Baker's administration is continuing to negotiate with a coalition of social service providers to settle a lawsuit over reimbursement rates, even as both sides say they anticipate reaching an agreement.
+"Not only are we providing great social value, we're also providing economic value as well," said Michael Weekes, president and CEO of the Providers' Council.
Massachusetts must update the rates paid to nonprofits for human services provided on behalf of the Commonwealth, a state judge has ordered.
+The new Baker administration has been ordered by a Superior Court judge to fully implement within the next 90 days a 2008 law aimed at updating rates paid to human service providers after a coalition sued Gov.
