Program areas at NHeLP

See schedule o.litigation:partnering with state and local advocates across the country, attorneys for the National Health Law Program represented low-income individuals and families in litigation to enforce provisions of the medicaid act and other federal and state Health and civil rights laws.for example, in 2022, the organization continued successful litigation against the federal government's approval of legally suspect medicaid waiver projects that included onerous new obstacles to accessing medicaid services. The organization also brought litigation to remove barriers to access presented by application procedures. We continued litigation to ensure transparency and accountability, due process, and access to services, including several cases to ensure that medically fragile children receive the services that are guaranteed them under medicaid's early and periodic screening, diagnostic and treatment provisions and cases to enforce the anti-discrimination provisions of the affordable care act.
See schedule o.reproductive health:the National Health Law Program works at every level to protect access to the full range of essential Health services, including abortion, in medicaid, the affordable care act (aca) marketplaces, and private insurance. After the supreme court's 2022 decision in dobbs v. jackson women's Health organization, the National Health Law Program has advocated for increased access to abortion through telemedicine and has supported advocates in mutiple state seeking to ensure access to abortion in their states. In 2022, the National Health Law Program also continued to advocate for states to adopt contraceptive equity laws intended to protect access to reproductive Health care for low income individual and families.
See schedule o.policy:the National Health Law Program's Health policy work advocates for protection and expansion of Health and civil rights of low-income individuals and families and underserved communities. The National Health Law Program's Health policy efforts in 2022 included but were not limited to the following: (1) advocating for legislation to close the coverage gap and increase funding for more home and community based services; (2) preparing for the end of the public Health emergency through advocacy at the federal level and support to advocates at the state level; (3) providing legal and policy support to National and state based coalitions working to protect, and where possible, expand access to Health care for low-income individuals, families and underserved communities; (4) providing legal support and problem-solving expertise to policymakers, advocates, and providers as legal issues arise at the administrative (regulatory) and state implementation levels; (5) providing legal support to policymakers to consider new models for providing Health care to all.during 2022 the National Health Law Program again increased its substantial efforts to counter Health care disparities and defend civil rights laws.in 2022, National Health Law Program staff provided state and federal Health care advocates legal assistance for myriad policy and legal concerns of low-income individuals and families. Staff members were also involved in and/or featured in scores of conferences and training events. Staff also produced numerous fact sheets, issue briefs, q&a's, and additional resources that were shared via listservs, email, social media platforms, press outreach, and other means.
