MEDICAID REDETERMINATION
After a three-year period in which Medicaid beneficiaries were not disenrolled, states resumed the process of redetermining eligibility. MHPA President and CEO Craig Kennedy, MPH, explains why it was imperative to get renewals right and how managed care organizations (MCOs) partnered with states to ensure that eligible individuals maintained Medicaid coverage, and those who no longer qualified for Medicaid had access to other coverage in the Marketplace.
Reports indicated that 18 million people lost coverage during the redetermination process. Alarmingly, 64% of Medicaid beneficiaries were unaware that redetermination was taking place. The resources below captured the scope of Medicaid redetermination, detrimental effects of coverage loss, and best practices that states may have employed for a smooth transition.
