Half A Million to Regain Medicaid Coverage After System Issue

A lot of families are going to have their Medicaid coverage reinstated after a system issue terminated their enrollment. The centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said 500,000 people, many of which are just Children will once again have access to the program. The issue was allegedly due in part to the existing data on families that did not properly count how many Children were part of each individual family. The big issue is that families were counted as one whole. The agency told states last month to double check their system to ensure that each member of each household was counted properly while there is no official record of how many Children were among those who now regained coverage. The centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said it was a significant number.
