Under PE, qualified providers can use a streamlined eligibility process to determine if an individual is eligible for Medicaid for a limited period of time. The goal of PE is to ensure that people who are likely eligible for Medicaid can get the healthcare services they need as soon as possible, without having to wait for a full eligibility determination.
