In 2023, lawmakers passed a measure requiring the state’s Medicaid program to pay for services provided by community health workers who help patients navigate the medical system.
The law passed but didn’t specify an implementation date, and the budget didn’t earmark funding for the initiative. Today, community health workers and advocates are still waiting for the state to come up with the money to make the measure a reality.
