The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has published answers to frequently asked questions about the Medicaid coverage status of evacuees from the Jan. 12 earthquake in Haiti. According to CMS, patients may arrive at any U.S. medical facility that has agreed to accept them, but several cities have been targeted to receive patients from Haiti based on the medical facilities available and the presence of a substantial Haitian population that can provide community support to the evacuees. These cities are: Miami, Orlando, Atlanta, the Washington DC metro area, New York, Philadelphia, and Boston.
