Starting January 1, if you’re a disabled adult on Medicaid expansion, having a disability will no longer be enough to be exempt from the new work requirements.
I've found fraud in my clinicians' notes. My understanding is that, before 2021, clinicians would get more $ if they documented more "stuff" in their notes, like exam findings and symptoms. Many of my clinicians copy-pasted entirely normal exam findings and symptoms (I call these "phantom findings"), especially at university health systems. Often residents do this, but attending MDs do, too. This also happened at a renowned respiratory clinic. This practice delayed my rare disease diagnoses, because other clinicians who read the notes believed they were correct.
I have a basic question, and I apologize for my ignorance.
Do work requirements apply to everyone currently on Medicaid? My experience is that some states insure low income people who are not able to work but who do not receive disability and are not retirement age. Are those people also affected?
Thank you for breaking this down so thoroughly. Allow me to apologize on behalf of the 50% of Americans who hate everything and everyone who doesn't resemble them in every way, and thought they were qualified to vote based on their dedicated Fox News viewership, their commitment to their wives/sisters, and their support of the politicians who are really really good at perpetuating all of the above, while alienating those in their own family who may or may not appear to disagree with one or more of their idiotic opinions on issues about which they are too confounded to admit their astonishing degrees of ignorance and have about as much business discussing as they do Schrodinger's Cat.
infuriating!
Steve, thank you for sharing this.
