Open Enrollment - 2021
Medicaid and Medicare provide Americans access to quality and affordable health care to live happy, healthy and productive lives. We know it can be confusing at times so below are some important dates we thought you should know when it comes to signing up for Medicaid, Medicare and Your Health Idaho. Please reach out to the KCH Patient Assistance team if you have any questions about your insurance. Medicaid Medicaid has NO official “Open Enrollment Period” it is a continuous open enrollment as long as the individual meets income and asset requirements - we screen for this at each appointment. Medicare Medicare DOES have an official "Enrollment Period"
Your Health Idaho DOES have an official “Enrollment Period”. Important Dates for Your Health Idaho

October Pulse Point
KudosAll Hands on Deck
Dr. McCarthy and her nurse Tia are total rockstars! On a week where peds was down providers, Dr. McCarthy and Tia took a whole template while being on call at the hospital. They went above and beyond the call of duty and really took care of our patients! An added bonus, they did it with a cheerful heart and a smile on their faces! We just love our peds team and their willingness to put the patients first! Raise the Bar I just wanted to give a HUGE kudos and THANK YOU to Nicole for calling all of the patients on our list of patients that are due for sealants and THANK YOU and Kudos to Hannah for going through the list. The list was long and overwhelming but Hannah went through them to see who needed scheduled and Nicole called them all! Ashley Ferrari Searched for a Cardiac Rehab Class for pt requesting something close to the Area. Val checked into it and found something close by that would fit his needs and offered for him to call back for further assistance if they were not able to help him and she would research some more Cinthia Lowe Kudos for the VA nursing team! They were the first ones to complete the IRIS modules as an entire clinic!!! Jordin McClellan See the Forest Every day, Cindy works towards being an effective team leader, and thoughtfully considers our patients' experience with KCH. When patients call in asking about their lab results, not only does Cindy provide them with the results over the phone, she also talks to the patients about the patient portal, and how they can sign-up and use it to check their lab results. Cindy often shares with the patients her own positive experience using a patient portal to check her own results from past providers. Thank you Cindy for going above and beyond every day for our patients. Emma Johnstone Spread a Little Sunshine I wanted to do a shout out to you about a patient I just got off the phone that Beth saw for an annual on 10/4. The patient was VERY complimentary of Beth. He said, “very personable, thorough, and professional” Kim McCoy To Rosie and Roo, every time I come to Ponderay, you are both so positive and uplifting and create the most wonderful energy around you! Thanks for everything you do! To Hulda, thank you for being so fun to collaborate with and just being wonderful in general! Meghan Howk Do You Hear What I Hear? All for One Sadie, thank you for always getting the task done! I appreciate your hard work and great communication skills. You are a pleasure to work with! Hannah Hulda has been so helpful in Dental. She learns really fast and takes on extra work without hesitation. Its been really nice having her here to help! Ashley F. Kathy is a super star, going above and beyond for the BF clinic and our patients. The other day, Kathy filled in for another care team, and was able to get A1c readings on three patients who were diabetic and due that day. Thank you Kathy for your hard work and diligence. Emma J. Be Brave Ego, take the "E" off and let it go Get 'er Done I'm still learning the process's here at Kaniksu and in the absence of my Charge nurse for the last 2 weeks Tara S. & Noemi T. s have both been an immense help to me to get things accomplished. Huge thanks. So appreciated Cindy Lowe R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Do the Right Thing Kudos to Cindy for being an accountable leader.
