Elevance Health has partnered with Samsung, Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile to provide Medicaid members with smartphones and unlimited data, talk, and text at no cost. The program aims to improve access to virtual healthcare tools and bridge the digital divide for low-income individuals. The initiative is funded by the Federal Communications Commission’s Affordable Connectivity Program and is expected to reach hundreds of thousands of Medicaid members in multiple states. The smartphones will allow members to access their Medicaid health plan care team and educational materials. The program comes as a response to the lack of internet connectivity and technology access, which has been a significant barrier for many Americans.
