What does Traditional Medical Assistance (TMA) do?

Traditional Medical Assistance (TMA) is specifically designed to offer continued Medicaid coverage for certain families, particularly those transitioning from Medicaid due to increased income. This program ensures that families do not experience a gap in healthcare coverage as they navigate changes in their financial situations. By providing continued access to Medicaid services, TMA supports the ongoing healthcare needs of families that may otherwise lose coverage during critical times.

The program is particularly beneficial for low-income families and individuals who may not have access to alternative forms of health insurance. It helps to maintain continuity of care, which is vital for managing chronic conditions and ensuring that all family members can receive necessary medical services without interruption. The focus on maintaining access to Medicaid for qualifying families highlights the commitment to supporting vulnerable populations in accessing adequate healthcare resources.
