On Feb. 1, Illinois moved roughly 19,000 former foster children into its managed Medicaid system. After the transition, some children and families began experiencing difficulties accessing care and medications because their coverage was inactive.

The spokesperson said the agency is working with the state’s foster care leaders to resolve any other issues.
