Texas Health and Human Services Commissioner Kyle Janek raised concerns on Tuesday about a temporary process set up by the Obama administration to help transfer applications for Medicaid from the federal health insurance marketplace over to the state.
“As Jan. 1, 2014, approaches, I remain deeply concerned about issues with healthcare.gov,” Janek wrote in a letter to U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. Specifically, Janek’s letter questioned a lack of testing on the temporary process, the accuracy of patient information being sent to the state and how the additional workload on the state health agency would impact other state-run programs.
