REMINDER: Free Webinar Tuesday - Expanding Access to Care for Migrant Farmworkers

[Guest guest]

***IMPORTANT: Pre-registration

required! See link below.***

Dear Migrant Health Colleagues,

Accessing health care services is a significant challenge

for farmworker families when they migrate for work. The Texas Migrant

Care Network is a program that enables migrant families from Texas to access

Texas Medicaid benefits even if they are temporarily living out of state.

Out-of-state providers who serve Texas migrant families can enroll as Texas

Medicaid providers and receive reimbursement for the care they provide.

Texas providers can greatly reduce the amount of outreach/eligibility staff

time and administrative expenses associated with continually re-enrolling

families who have dropped their Texas coverage. And Texas migrant

families can access the care they need without being burdened by the

complicated and time-consuming process of trying to enroll in a different

state’s Medicaid program.

This session will provide an overview of the Texas Migrant

Care Network targeting all professionals that work directly with migrant

families, including eligibility workers, outreach staff, promotores/as, front

desk staff, billing staff, and administrators both in and outside of

Texas. It will provide an update on out-of-state providers who are

currently seeing patients from Texas and billing Texas Medicaid. The

webcast will also introduce participants to a screening tool developed by the

Texas Association of Community Health Centers and Health Outreach Partners to

identify individuals who can benefit from the Texas Migrant Care Network and

route them for enrollment, renewal and/or out-of-state care.

Date: Tuesday, March 30th

Time: 11:30 to

1:00 Pacific
