WV Medicaid Enrollment Survey - EMEE Voices Project WV

Share your Medicaid enrollment experience

The EMEE Voices project is seeking to better understand the barriers that prevent black and brown West Virginians from applying for and gaining access to Medicaid. This survey hopes to gain a better understanding of these systems, whether based around stigma or institutional factors, from the perspective
of Medicaid applicants and users. Please include as much detail as you can.

Your responses are voluntary and will remain confidential. Responses will not be identified by an individual. All responses will be compiled together and analyzed as a group. If you have any further questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to Mariah Plante (mariah@wvahc.org) or Rhonda Rogombe (rrogombe@wvpolicy.org). Thank you for taking the time to
fill this out; we look forward to learning from you!
