 Certain inmates leaving jail or prison in Oregon can now get coverage from Medicaid. The state has been approved to give those inmates Medicaid coverage 90 days before their release. The Oregon Health Authority says that it's important because those people are often with a gap in coverage until health care can resume. The change is going to allow them to get medication, especially medication that may be needed for addiction recovery. Washington has a similar policy on the books, too, under the AppleCare Medicaid coverage.
