The bill, HB 5205, aims to establish continuous eligibility for Medicaid (RIte Track/RIte Care) for children up to age three in Rhode Island. This measure is intended to prevent children from losing their health coverage due to administrative barriers during the yearly eligibility redetermination process. The bill amends the title of Chapter 42-12.3 from "Health Care for Children and Pregnant Women" to "ACT TO STABILIZE HEALTH COVERAGE FOR YOUNG CHILDREN" and introduces a new section (42-12.3-17) that specifies the conditions for continuous eligibility. Under this provision, children enrolled in RIte Track/RIte Care will maintain their eligibility until the end of the month in which they turn three years old, unless they no longer reside in Rhode Island, their parent or guardian requests termination, the individual dies, or if it is determined that eligibility was granted in error. Furthermore, the executive office of health and human services is required to seek any necessary amendments to the Rhode Island Medicaid Section 1115 waiver to implement this continuous eligibility. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
