This article originally appeared in Inside Health Policy on July 3, 2024. 

While the Congressional Budget Office adjusted its prediction and now says more beneficiaries will retain Medicaid once the unwinding period ends, KFF’s analysis still shows more than 23 million enrollees have lost coverage since the process began April 1, 2023 and nearly 70% of those disenrollments were due to administrative reasons.

Today, the Connecting to Coverage Coalition (CCC), a diverse group of stakeholders with a shared interest in protecting American health coverage, issued a comprehensive white paper containing a set of policy recommendations to improve the efficiency and accuracy of Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) eligibility determinations while reducing administrative burdens that both prevent eligible families from retaining coverage and increase states’ operating costs. Policies that maximize automatic or paperless renewals based on information showing continued eligibility, expand data collection and transparency, and facilitate alignment across programs are crucial strategies for protecting health coverage during and beyond the unwinding period, thereby promoting America’s health and well-being.

CCC Applauds Recent Medicaid Redetermination & Renewal Measures

EMBARGOED UNTIL 5 AM
April 8, 2024
Contact: [email protected]

​The Connecting to Coverage Coalition (CCC) (http://www.connectingtocoverage.org) applauds the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for implementing key measures aimed at maintaining enrollment for individuals eligible for Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), as well as assisting those who are no longer eligible with securing alternative health coverage options through the federal or state-based Marketplace, Medicare, or employer-provided coverage. We recognize this has been a multi-year planning and implementation process, with much of the heavy lifting occurring at the state level, with “all hands-on deck” support from a myriad of partners. While much work remains to support individuals through the redetermination process, the member organizations of the CCC are pleased to see these important steps and look forward to partnering with CMS and states to further assist individuals and families.

12/13/2023
