Anywhere between 8 and 24 million people could lose coverage following the end of continuous enrollment in the Medicaid program, according to a new Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) survey.
Released this week, the KFF’s survey of state Medicaid and CHIP officials reviewed their approach to the unwinding of continuous enrollment—a pandemic-era protection that prevented states from removing beneficiaries off the rolls.
“The unwinding of the continuous enrollment provision will play out differently across the states based on policy choices states have made and variation in their administrative infrastructures,” the survey notes.
Among the key takeaways:
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.
