Region Multiple Regions
Description

Provides funding for the continuing costs of the Cover Virginia Central Processing Unit (CoverVa CPU). In July of 2014, the CoverVa call center was upgraded to a CPU for one year, using balances from FY 2014, to clear the federal exchange application backlog. The call center was originally created to comply with federal requirements for allowing telephonic Medicaid applications. However, due to an increase in overall Medicaid applications and the backlog of processing federal exchange applications, it was determined that Virginia needed to support centralized application processing and the CoverVa call center was upgraded to a CPU capable of processing applications through to a final determination. The CoverVa CPU will process eligibility for applications forwarded to Virginia from the Federally Facilitated Marketplace (FFM), all telephonic applications, and all health care coverage-only applications submitted online through the CommonHelp portal.
