WHAT COULD HAPPEN?
Approximately 15 million Medicaid beneficiaries across the country are set to lose health insurance coverage because the end of the PHE will trigger a redetermination process. Telehealth flexibilities for Medicare beneficiaries will end 151 days after the PHE expires. However, telehealth flexibility will remain for plans regulated by Illinois due to ISMS-backed legislation. The federal government will stop paying for COVID-19 vaccines, tests and treatments. Don't let this pass, update your mailing address!
