Earlier today, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced five states—Illinois, Kentucky, Oregon, Utah, and California—approved to provide pre-release Medicaid coverage for individuals transitioning out of incarceration. This is a significant opportunity to address and mitigate health-related social needs for the incarcerated population before they are released. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eGxhDwDU 🔍 Why This Matters: Many of the individuals transitioning from incarceration face high rates of chronic conditions, mental health issues, and substance use disorders - all of which are complicated with unmet social needs (e.g., housing instability, food insecurity, etc.). Without access to consistent health care and social services, these conditions often worsen, leading to higher rates of hospitalization and increased health care costs. 💡 Key Benefits: 1. Continuous Care: Ensures that individuals receive essential health services during a critical period of transition, reducing the risk of health deterioration. 2. Improved Outcomes: Addresses chronic conditions and mental health issues early, improving overall health outcomes and quality of life. 3. Reduced Recidivism: Access to health care and support services can lower the likelihood of reoffending, contributing to safer communities. Planning for this pre-release has a significant impact on reducing recidivism. 4. Economic Impact: Reduces long-term health care costs by preventing emergency room visits and hospitalizations through early intervention and continuous care. 🌟 A Step Towards Achieving Health Equity: This initiative is a pivotal move towards achieving health equity. By addressing the SDOH for this vulnerable population, we can break the cycle of poor health and incarceration, paving the way for healthier, more resilient communities. #HealthEquity #Medicaid #Incarceration #SDOH #PublicHealth #SocialDeterminantsOfHealth #CommunityHealth --- Feel free to share your thoughts and join the conversation on how we can further support the health and well-being of those transitioning from incarceration!

Even with plenty of state activity that has big impact, we do not lose sight of federal legislation that could have major impact. The Home and Community Based Services Act of 2024 (HCBS) is still in draft form and was introduced in the US Senate in March of 2023. The proposed law aims to expand Medicaid home and community-based services as an alternative to institutional care. Potential provisions include increasing federal matching funds for states that expand HCBS programs and mandating HCBS coverage for individuals with disabilities under Medicaid. This would be big. #medicaid #homeandcommunitybasedcare #homecare #homecareservices #legislation #federalgovernment #virginia #homecareagency #aginginplace #ussenate
