Following the White House's funding freeze under the Trump administration, various organizations, including state Medicaid programs, are facing access issues to the Payment Management Services portal that oversees critical federal health funding. The portal warns of potential delays and payment rejections due to reviews prompted by executive orders. Although the White House claims individual federal assistance will not be impacted, reports indicate widespread lockouts across all 50 states. Several senators have expressed concerns over the ramifications for healthcare access, suggesting the situation could jeopardize the well-being of millions of Americans.
My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.
Multiple states locked out of Medicaid portal. This is a Trump shutdown, except this time it's unlawful.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Tuesday that Medicaid recipients and others who directly receive federal funding will continue to receive it. It does not affect individual assistance that's going to Americans.
The website currently warns that due to Executive Orders regarding potentially unallowable grant payments, PMS is taking additional measures to process payments.
