EMBARGOED UNTIL 5 AM
April 8, 2024 Contact: info@connectingtocoverage.org 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.

A coalition of providers, insurers and beneficiary advocates want CMS to continue publicly sharing Medicaid redetermination data long after the post-pandemic renewals period ends, as well as consider stratifying these data to show differences between race, ethnicity or population. The Connecting to Coverage Coalition (CCC) (http://www.connectingtocoverage.org) today wrote the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to request that it continue to work with State Medicaid agencies to publish and distribute publicly available data to help inform the Medicaid redetermination and renewals process (“unwinding”). Given the value the currently-publicized information has added to the process, the CCC also requested that CMS continue to collect and publish its data following the end of the Medicaid unwinding.

More than half of them were terminated for “procedural” reasons, usually because the state did not get the information it requested from families. These children and families may have been eligible, as far as the state knows. One contributing factor to these bureaucratic terminations of eligible children is that parents often cannot reach the state’s Medicaid call center to renew their children’s coverage. UnidosUS staff made 40 “secret shopper” calls during late July and early August, at multiple times each day of the week.
