Summary
New federal rules require some Medicaid recipients to prove they qualify for a "medical frailty" exemption - or lose their coverage. Here's what you need to know before it's too late. Nicole Jorwic at Caring Across Generations breaks down the new Medicaid work requirements that take effect next year - and the proposed new CMS rules that determine who qualifies as "medically frail" in this #CareTalk episode with show host, cancer survivor, and health care advocate Laura Packard from Health Care Voices . Plus Louise Norris from healthinsurance.org and Diane Archer from Just Care answer your American health insurance and health care questions on Medicare, the Affordable Care Act, Medicaid, private insurance and more. This episode has more about the Trump administration allowing insurers to offer loans to patients with catastrophic health insurance plans, suing a school district forcing retired employees into Medicare Advantage, can your employer insurance discriminate based on private testing which may reveal pre-existing conditions, and a mix-up on primary and secondary health insurance coverage for cataract surgery.
