Thank you to everyone who came to our Medicaid Community Conversation in Keene last night! Keene-area residents came with their questions and concerns, and several kept coming up:

👉 Medical frailty exemption: How will the work requirement exemption apply to people in recovery from substance use disorder?
👉 What counts as “treatment”: Will outpatient care count, and how will already overloaded health care workers keep up with more paperwork?
👉 Getting notices: With limited public transportation and unreliable internet or computers in our region, how will the state make sure people actually receive theirs?

Special thanks to Monadnock Developmental Services for hosting us, and to Monadnock Family Services, New Futures, Waypoint, and Tim for their participation. One thing was clear: Keene is ready to come together for its people so no one loses their coverage due to administrative barriers.

Next up, we're heading to Littleton on Tuesday, October 20. Learn more and register here: rebrand.ly/medlittleton.

Martha McLeod, our Vice President of Community Engagement, is featured in the Endowment for Health's Fresh Takes for her work with the NH Alliance for Healthy Aging's Advocacy Workgroup, helping older residents speak up for policies that support healthy aging.

"One of our major goals is to help let people have that choice of where they age—whether it's in their community or if they need more supports than that. And most people want to stay in their own communities and in their own homes."

Coffee in hand and headed to Baltimore! ☕ Our VP of Comms, Sammi Chickering, spent three days at the Annie E. Casey Foundation KIDS COUNT Data Institute with partners from across the country.

She learned about proposed changes to the census and how to make the case for data that helps kids and families, heard what's working in other states, and got a peek at what's coming for the KIDS COUNT Data Center.

Good decisions for kids start with good data. Explore our NH KIDS COUNT Data Hub to see how kids in our state are doing: https://new-futures.org/nh-kids-count

As the changes to Medicaid roll out, it will be important to know you redetermination date. This will be the date that NH DHHS will use to complete "lookbacks," or the "look-back period."

If you want to verify your individual date, visit the NH EASY portal. Once you login, view the At a Glance page (when you first login) there is a 'Redetermination Due' section right at the top.
