{"Image DocumentName": "Benefits of Continued Medicaid", "Image ImageDescription": "This ensures the child\u2019s medical and psychiatric/psychological care can continue with the same providers, to avoid disruption of treatment. Trust issues for the child; Knowledge issues for the medical providers. Coverage greater than with private insurance. Issue: even if the child can be covered on the custodian\u2019s own medical insurance, there will be a gap in coverage between the entry of the court order and the custodian working through the insurer. At a minimum, do not want to allow the child to go uncovered until the custodian works all this out. Further, children\u2019s Medicaid coverage is much more extensive than that of private insurnce. Second issue: children\u2019s advocates have noted that ESS automatically discontinues a dependent child\u2019s Medicaid coverage when the child moves from one category to another, such as we\u2019re discussing here. This remains to be worked out, as federal law requires continued coverage pending notification and determination as to whether the child can remain covered under another category.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
