Medicaid covered many during the COVID pandemic, but now protections have started being rolled back.
"The end of continuous Medicaid coverage actually ended March 31 and so to kind of redirect some of the traffic into our local offices, we're holding pop-up renewal events across Texas," said Kelli Williams, the Interim Director of Community Outreach at Texas Health & Human Services.
"There's some age requirements, income requirements," said Williams. "We will also provide them with referrals to other programs if needed." Price says the county is waiting on Texas Health and Human Services Commission which oversees enrollment in public health programs to tell them how many people and how many dollars that will add to the county healthcare safety net.
