    Continuous Coverage

    The goal of multi-year continuous coverage for children under six years of age is to lay a strong foundation for lifelong health by ensuring consistent access to healthcare during these crucial early years.

    The early years of a child’s life are pivotal for their long-term health and development.

    Research consistently shows that access to healthcare during this period significantly impacts overall well-being. The proposed continuous eligibility coverage aims to promote uninterrupted access to essential healthcare services, setting the stage for a healthier and more prosperous future

    Coverage

    • Children won’t lose their Medicaid coverage for failure to submit forms or a change in household circumstances.
    • This starts when a child first gets Medicaid coverage. It lasts until the end of the month when they turn six.
