Please note major changes have been made to the Medicaid program, in particular. During the current state of emergency, no one will lose coverage, income eligibility has been expanded, documentation requirements will be more flexible, and absolutely NO copays or prior authorizations will be required for ANY Medicaid service. Many reporting requirements for SNAP, KTAP, and CCAP have also been suspended.
