Hawaii Launches Continuous Eligibility for Children up to Age 6

Hawaii has expanded Medicaid eligibility to provide continuous coverage for children up to age six, reports Spectrum News. These changes will allow children under the age of six to receive continuous Medicaid coverage until their 6^th birthday, and children ages 6 to 19 will receive coverage for two years at a time. The policy aims to ensure consistent access to health care for young children, reducing gaps in coverage that can lead to missed preventive care and delayed treatments.
