What does 'usually' mean? In my experience 'usually' has never worked in my favor. Say it does, does it kick in immediately? What do they have to do to switch over providers? Does all currently being coveraged treatment just move over to being covered by Medicaid automatically or will they need re-approvals?

If you are saying they are covered either way, why not just have consistent healthcare coverage for them and for everyone, all the time?
