An estimated 15 million people are expected to lose their Medicaid coverage, including one million Texans, now that Medicaid 'unwinding' has begun.
An estimated 15 million people are expected to lose their Medicaid coverage, including one million Texans, now that Medicaid "unwinding" has begun. That means the COVID public health emergency is ending and automatic re-enrollment set up during the pandemic has ended. FOX 26 Consumer Reporter Heather Sullivan shares some Smart Sense on what recipients need to know.
Medicaid recipients must now re-apply for the first time in three years, but many may not find out until they need a doctor and discover their coverage is gone. That's leaving healthcare providers, like those at Access Health, concerned about their patients and working to make sure they are notified, particularly pregnant mothers who could lose continuous coverage after childbirth.
"What that means is if their documents are missing, or they're at a different address, or they're not eligible anymore, they tend to lose their coverage," said Jalen.
