Kaiser Analysis Shows Magnitude of Navigator Cuts

Last week, we highlighted the CMS Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for the navigator program and the significant cut the FOA represents from funding levels in prior years. The Kaiser Family Foundation has released a new analysis which breaks down just how far these cuts have been experienced in each state both from 2017 to 2018 and over the last two years combined from 2016 to 2018. Overall, the funding for the navigator program nationwide has been cut by 84% from 2016 to 2018.
