State Gets Federal Approval For Medicaid Buy-In
Program For Working Disabled Citizens
Advocates for the disabled scored a victory Friday when Ohio
received word that the federal agency overseeing Medicaid had approved a
long-sought buy-in program.
Under the program, working disabled citizens pay a premium
into the entitlement. The arrangement allows them to keep jobs and make
advancements without the threat of exceeding the Medicaid income limits and
losing health coverage.
Ohio’s plan was enacted last spring with the biennium budget
plan (HB 119). It had been the subject of prior legislative proposals,
including
a separate bill (SB 4) sponsored last year by Sen. Steve Stivers
(R-Columbus)
Dave Zwyer, director of the Ohio Developmental Disabilities
Council, said the program has been years in the making.
“We’ve been working on it in excess of seven years,” he
said.
Under the program, he said, disabled individuals “can go to
work and still have health insurance coverage. That’s the bottom
line.”
“It just has a ripple effect in terms of people with
disabilities going to work or advancing in their careers.”
More details are to follow in today’s Gongwer News Service Ohio Report.
