Big Changes Coming to Medicaid Eligibility in New York

The Brian Lehrer Show | Jun 15, 2023

New York State has recently started checking for Medicaid enrollment eligibility, which had been on pause during the pandemic emergency. Amir Bassiri, New York State Medicaid director, and Danielle Holahan, NY State of Health executive director, explain why that could mean many lose coverage, plus answer listeners' questions on how to make sure they don't lose coverage for a procedural reason, and what to do if they don't qualify anymore.

Be alert for scams. WNYC never asks for nor accepts money for coverage or interviews. Anyone making such a request does not represent WNYC.
