The number of Medicaid beneficiaries removed from coverage since the end of continuous enrollment varies widely across the U.S., with Pennsylvania ranking near the middle of the pack.
The latest update to the Kaiser Family Foundation’s (KFF) Medicaid Enrollment and Unwinding Tracker shows that states are using different strategies to notify people that they need to renew or update their coverage, and that disenrollment rates vary from 75 percent in South Carolina to 16 percent in Virginia.
“Differences in who states are targeting with early renewals as well as differences in renewal policies and systems capacity likely explain some of the variation in disenrollment rates,” KFF notes.
Here’s what you need to know:
With the end of continuous enrollment, DHS—in partnership with provider organizations, including HAP—has developed resources to help providers share important information with patients.
DHS’s stakeholder toolkit includes printable education materials, scripts for conversations with patients, and digital assets, such as social media posts and website graphics. The toolkit is available online.
