HHS approves Medicaid reform in Idaho, prenatal care in Texas

Medicaid reform in Idaho that introduces targeted benefits based upon age and health status has been approved by dint of the HHS. Idaho will present benefit packages aimed at children, ones with disabilities, and beneficiaries eligible for Medicaid and Medicare. All packages are voluntary, and those who pitch upon them can return to standard Medicaid at any time. Idaho is the third state to take advantage of the Deficit Reduction Act passed in 2005 which allows states more options for Medicaid design. Changes to Medicaid programs in West Virginia and Kentucky were approved in May. The HH also approved the expansion of Texas' state children's health insurance program to overspread prenatal care for women with a family income up to twice the federal need level. Texas is the ninth state to adopt this policy, allowed below a 2003 regulation.
