Coalition Meeting on September 12 Hi all,
Our next Medicaid Coalition meeting will be in-person and online next week, Thursday, September 12 at 9 AM ET. To register as an in-person participant, please use this link. We will also have a virtual option, which you can sign up for here.
We will be joined by Rebecca Cerese from the NC Justice Center, Jennifer Tolbert from KFF, and Gayle Mauser from the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Attendees will hear about a variety of policy updates, including North Carolina's new medical debt relief program, continuous eligibility 1115 waivers and legislation, and a conversation around end-of-year planning. Please RSVP below! |
We also want to invite you to join Families USA in sending this comment letter to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services addressing their recently released annual Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment and Ambulatory Surgical Center Payment Systems. The OPPS comment letters will include thoughts and recommendations across several key areas, including: - Codification of 12 months of continuous coverage for children up to 19 years old in Medicaid and CHIP as well as removal of state authority to disenroll children for failure to pay enrollment fees or premiums
-
Extension of the Medicaid four walls exception for Indian Health Services (IHS) and tribal clinics, behavioral health services, and rural providers.
- Allowing formally incarcerated people to qualify for and enroll in Medicare
You can read the letter here, and to sign-on, please complete this form by EOD on Friday, September 6, if you're interested in joining this effort.
