"Montana Initiative Aids Unhoused Individuals Regain Medicaid Coverage"
TL;DR
Due to the requirement for states to check Medicaid eligibility, many individuals, including homeless people in Montana, have lost coverage due to technicalities like paperwork errors. This has left them without access to vital healthcare services, making it particularly dangerous for those with chronic health conditions. The bureaucratic process to regain coverage is challenging for unhoused individuals, leading to delays and potential health risks.
