STATE TIMELINES FOR ENDING MEDICAID CONTINUOUS COVERAGE

The unwinding of the Medicaid continuous coverage requirement has begun and states can begin to terminate people’s Medicaid eligibility as of April 1 which is less than a month away. To better understand how these timelines are working in various states, CMS recently released a list of the timelines for all states as it relates to their unwinding.

The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) recently hosted a webinar on the unwinding of the continuous coverage requirement. The slides and recording of the webinar have been archived. CBPP also has released an unwinding FAQ and tip sheet.

The Georgetown Center on Health Insurance Reforms (CHIR) recently updated their Navigator resource guide to include information for those who will be losing their Medicaid coverage and will need to transition to private insurance. You can read more about this on their latest blog post.

The CHIR also hosted a webinar this week on the issue of transitioning people from Medicaid to marketplace insurance. The slides and recording of the webinar have been archived.

Be on the lookout for your notice. Learn more at Medicaid.gov.”Many of these resources have been added to  our latest blog post which provides a list of resources that help explain the process of Medicaid unwinding. Since last week, we also added a link to the Community Catalyst Outreach Toolkit. This toolkit includes images like the one to the right which highlight the upcoming April 1 deadline.

The Georgetown Center for Children and Families has a weekly blog post which focuses on the Medicaid unwinding. This week’s blog post focuses on the updates they’ve made recently to their 50 state tracker.

Even though Open Enrollment Year 10 (OE10) has ended and Medicaid unwinding is occurring, that doesn’t mean that there still isn’t an opportunity for people to get covered. In fact, Medicaid enrollment goes year-round. As part of our partnership with Community Catalyst, we have a project which highlights opportunities for people with disabilities to get access to health coverage through Medicaid or the ACA marketplace. As part of this project, they have graphics like the one below which highlight the financial benefits of Medicaid. These are available in the Community Catalyst Outreach Hub.

The Georgetown Center on Health Insurance Reforms (CHIR) also has another blog post which looks at the struggles those who have long COVID have had with getting adequate access to coverage and care.

A new issue brief from the Kaiser Family Foundation examines the growth of the Medicaid program and what it means for the unwinding of the continuous coverage requirement and who is most at risk for losing coverage.

If you missed it last month, CMS released a proposed National Coverage Determination (NCD) to cover elevation systems in power wheelchairs as a Medicare benefit. Comments on this proposal will be received through March 17, 2023. To learn more or for links to the proposed rules and CMS press release, check out our news item.

Archives of our weekly updates are available on the NDNRC website.
