Over 2 million Washingtonians are currently enrolled in Medicaid in the state, and more than 1,300 enroll in the program every week. Washington State Health Care Authority’s Maryanne Lindeblad explained how the state is expanding its services and working with health care providers at the Washington State of Reform Virtual Health Policy conference Wednesday.
The agency has attempted to tackle COVID-19-related challenges in many ways, she said. For example, the state ended all unrequested terminations of Medicaid enrollments, other than those initiated due to a death or an enrollee moving out of the state.
