Tens of millions of people will be evaluated to see if they still qualify for Medicaid after the COVID public health emergency has ended.
"We get a lot of people with chronic pains. They hold their health in their body — back pain, chest pain, headaches and so forth," Parmar said."They come from war zones and places where they were at, there was an oppressing population. So, they come here and they're always on guard and we have to sort that out here as far as what's physical and what's mental."
He will care for those who are uninsured, like someone who is undocumented, at no cost. He also accepts patients on Medicaid, which not all doctors do, since it typically pays less per visit than private insurance. He says many of his Medicaid patients have jobs and private insurance, but deductibles and co-pays often make care too expensive.
"They have a family of seven with one working parent who, unfortunately, is not working at a great job. They're probably not going to be at risk of losing Medicaid," Parmar said of the Shinwaris after their visit.In Colorado, a family of seven would have to make more than roughly $60,000 a year to no longer qualify, according to the calculator on Benefits.gov. The amounts vary from state to state.
The state posted the results of its unwinding of the Public Health Emergency exceptions for Medicaid through one month. While 5,414 people were removed because their income exceeded the limit for their household, more than half — 44,714 — were removed for issues like not turning in their paperwork. Fox says he worries about whether re-enrollment packets, which several states are sending through the U.S. mail, will get to those who need them.
"Our numbers are already up. We've already finished one month," she said."Now, we have to figure out how we're going to provide the labs, the x-rays, the surgeries, whatever they might need because they may no longer have access to their medical card."
