每日吃瓜爆料

每日吃瓜爆料 recently joined two sign-on letters to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). 

In a letter signed by over 100 organizations, 每日吃瓜爆料 recommended that CMS finalize a proposal to narrow Medicare’s in-custody definition to no longer include individuals on bail, parole, probation, and home detention. Notably, individuals who are in the custody of penal authorities are ineligible for Medicare coverage.  每日吃瓜爆料 also encouraged CMS to adopt Medicaid’s interpretation and approach to individuals residing in halfway houses and expand coverage to individuals in those settings, as well.
