Dominique Jackson has been on Medicaid for seven years. But the Columbus, Ohio, resident didn't realize he'd have to verify his eligibility every year to keep his coverage. Then, he sprained his ankle.
"I found that I had to re-enroll because I went to the emergency room and I still had my old Medicaid card. And when they scanned it, it came up that I was no longer under that provider," Jackson recalls. Luckily, he was able to work file the paperwork and get his care covered.
