In response to the Commission’s continued interest in health care access for children and youth in child welfare, staff has initiated work examining how Medicaid meets the unique needs of the foster care population. Staff conducted a systematic examination of federal requirements and state delivery methods of Medicaid benefits to children in foster care. During this session, staff presented background information on children in foster care, federal child welfare and Medicaid requirements, the role of state agencies and managed care plans in delivering health services, and selected policy issues that affect health care delivery and access for this population.
