Bill > HB368

This bill amends the Mississippi Medicaid eligibility requirements to expand coverage to individuals under 65 years of age who are not pregnant, not entitled to or enrolled for Medicare benefits, and whose income is not more than 133% of the federal poverty level, as authorized under the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. These individuals would receive benchmark or benchmark equivalent coverage under the Medicaid program. The bill also directs the Division of Medicaid to apply for any necessary waivers to implement the expanded eligibility and provide up to 12 months of continuous postpartum coverage for eligible pregnant women.
