A new federal law aims to better connect incarcerated children and young adults who are eligible for Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program to services before their release.
The goal is to help prevent them from developing a health crisis or reoffending as they work to reestablish themselves.
Putting the law into practice will require significant changes to how correctional facilities provide health care to people returning to communities.
Many facilities and state health agencies nationwide will have to make a lot of changes before incarcerated people can receive the services required in the law.
The facilities and agencies must first create systems to identify eligible youths, find health care providers who accept Medicaid , bill the federal government, and share records and data.
Some state officials are flagging potential complications.
