Kentucky is expanding its Medicaid program under the Affordable Care Act to provide health coverage to former inmates and others who qualify. Health insurers must learn to cope with a problematic population. Medicaid managed care plans involve government agencies to address the many challenges associated with treating former inmates, including lack of proper coverage, mental health issues, and addiction. The program in Illinois provides a medical home model so that patients, including those released from jail or prison, can have a full range of providers to manage their health care.
