The Texas Health and Human Services Commission is extending Medicaid coverage for children affected by Hurricane Ike for 90 days.
Via email from THHSC:
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) is extending Medicaid coverage for about 34,000 children in the Houston-Beaumont areas over concerns that Hurricane Ike may have disrupted the ability of families to get and return the forms to renew their coverage.
HHSC will automatically extend the children’s coverage for 90 days in southeast Texas and will send out new packets to help the families complete the regular renewal process by April. The children’s coverage would have ended Dec. 31 without the extensions.
