In The Spotlight:

Advocacy


Now that the General Assembly has presented the budget and legislation, the Governor has 30 days to sign, amend/change, or veto the proposals. On April 17, 2024, the General Assembly will meet again to review any vetoes and amendments. Moms In Motion would like to thank each and every person that took the time to advocate over the past few months. Your emails, letters, social media messages, and in person rallies were a testament to your determination to see positive changes in the lives of all fellow Virginians.

Have you explored your MCO options?


Our goal is to ensure that Moms In Motion clients remain "in the know" of upcoming changes that may affect their services. To avoid the service interruptions that some may experience due to delays if all 140,000 Molina members need to change MCOs at once, we would like to offer guidance to our clients to start the process now. Currently, four other MCOs are available to Medicaid members. You can compare these plans using these helpful tools!

Awareness

In April, we recognize Medicaid Awareness Month!


Medicaid covers health services for 41 million children, nearly half of children in the United States. Medicaid is a lifeline for nearly half of the 14 million children with special health care needs in the United States as well.


This year, CMS aims to expand opportunities for states to use Medicaid to address health-related social needs (HRSN) such as housing instability and nutrition insecurity.

April is World Autism Awareness & Acceptance Month!


Did you know that children who receive an Autism diagnosis by age 4 are fifty times more likely to receive services. Are you searching for resources or navigating the path of a new diagnosis?


Our friends at the Autism Society of Central Virginia are a great resource for individuals and families. You are not alone.
