Webinar: Potential Roles for Safety Net Providers in Supporting Continuity Across Medicaid and Health Insurance Exchanges

Next week the National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) is hosting a webinar about the challenge states face supporting continuity of care for individuals and families who may churn between Medicaid and commercial coverage purchased through health insurance exchanges.

As the Colorado Health Benefit Exchange Board works to develop a health insurance exchange where Coloradans can successfully go to compare cost and quality across health plans, determine if they are eligible for Medicaid or for premium tax credits, and purchase coverage, one significant concern remains unsolved. What happens when individuals and families experience changes in income that will cause them to churn (shift eligibility for Medicaid and other subsidized coverage)? Disruptions in coverage have the potential to lead to expensive disruptions in care. Learn more about this challenge and what providers may need to undertake to adapt to the new coverage environment by participating in NASHP’s webinar on Tuesday, August 28th. Click here to register.
