Happy fall! Changing seasons can be tough when you have ME. Can you even notice the change? I have learned that anything I can find any joy in is good to amplify. What do you find joy in? Pumpkins? Leaves? Cooler temps? If this season is not one where you can find joy, sending you extra love!

Last #MedicaidMonday, we shared that CMS announced states may use a tier system to determine which Medicaid applicants qualify for the medical frailty exemption from new work requirements. Today, we are going to explain those tiers! #Medicaid #PwME #PwLC #disability #FrailAndFurious
Medicaid 3-tier model with criteria for medical frailty exemption. What may qualify people for the medical frailty exemption? Tier 1: Diagnosis alone, which a doctor has recorded in their records, may meet exemption requirements. Tier 2: Diagnosis with other supplemental information - from past claims and clinical records the state collects for you - may meet exemption requirements. Tier 3: Cases that can't be resolved through available data. Submitting additional documentation may be necessary
