LINCOLN — Nebraska officials said Friday that a computer problem tied to the advent of Obamacare enrollment will delay some people's ability to get Medicaid coverage.
The problem prevents the transfer of applications between the federal health insurance marketplace and the state Medicaid system.
It affects people who apply for health insurance through the new online marketplace and are determined to be potentially eligible for Nebraska Medicaid.
Russ Reno, a spokesman for the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, said federal officials notified Nebraska about the issue last week. The notice said the problem is expected to be fixed by the first week of November, federal officials said.
