An Idaho university has started accepting
Medicaid as health insurance again to meet its coverage requirement and
reversed a heavily criticized decision.
Brigham Young University-Idaho officials
apologized Monday in a news release "for the turmoil caused by our earlier
decision."
University officials say they were grateful for
the feedback they have received from campus and the medical community.
Officials say the university announced plans
earlier this month to stop accepting Medicaid as coverage forcing students to
buy a university-backed plan costing at least $81 a month for single students
and up to $678 a month for a family.
Officials said last week it was amid concerns
that health care providers would be overwhelmed, but several providers disputed
the claims.
Some students argued the school plan was
expensive and had limited coverage.
