On January 1, 2019, Virginia will join 32 other states in expanding Medicaid coverage to 400,000 low-income residents. What does this expansion mean for healthcare providers? Find out at an upcoming information series being held at hospitals across the Commonwealth beginning this month.
The “Medicaid Expansion: What Providers Need to Know” events will feature state government leaders who will explain what expansion means and provide an overview of recent policy reforms, including the Common Core Formulary, Addiction and Recovery Treatment Services (ARTS) program and the statewide ED Care Coordination project. Attendees will also have direct access to representatives from participating health plans who will answer questions and provide Cover Virginia enrollment materials for distribution to newly eligible patients.
