Health Assistance Programs for Medicaid Patients

Health assistance programs for Medicaid patients were initially created to help people in finding the appropriate managed care programs for them. They help Medicaid patients in staying qualified for the Medicaid program and in working out issues and difficulties patients encounter with health care services. They give Medicaid patients, and providers, guidance and education on updates about the program. They also review and gather information regarding Medicaid patients’ problems that can assist policymakers, Medicaid agencies, and health plans in resolving these issues. Health assistance program responsibilities vary from training patients and providers, to looking into complaints and finding resolutions, and essentially representing Medicaid patients in grievances and fair hearings.  Other states have health assistance for Medicaid patients that include focused programs that help mental health patients and others that require special health care.
