With 934,638 or 65.4 % of the beneficiaries recertified and qualified, the Medicaid Program in Puerto Rico - under the Department of Health - closed the official period set at the federal level to recertify the Vital Plan health coverage. However, statistics show that at least 202,083 individuals missed their appointments, so they lost or are at risk of losing their coverage.
