This week, Congress and the White House failed to reach a funding deal, triggering a federal government partial shutdown. Critical services, such as Medicare and Medicaid payments, NIH clinical care, FDA emergency functions, and CDC outbreak monitoring, will continue.

 

IEHP wants to assure members and our community that we do not expect the shutdown to affect the health plan's funding in any way. We will continue with business as usual when it comes to services, programs and provider payments.

 

We will post updates if we hear of any changes.

 

Thank you,

 

Team IEHP
