NEW MEDICAID UNWINDING RESOURCES
A new blog post from the Georgetown Center for Children and Families looks at the trend of increased enrollment of children in Medicaid and how the unwinding of the Medicaid continuous coverage requirement should not affect most of their eligibility.
Families USA has a new issue brief which outlines steps that states can take during the Medicaid unwinding to increase efficiencies with Medicaid enrollment.
A new report from the Kaiser family foundation examines the progress states have been making on unwinding the Medicaid continuous coverage requirement. To learn more, check out our news item.
Unwinding the Medicaid continuous coverage requirement has begun in many states, and in some states, people may have started losing their Medicaid eligibility. Over the last couple months we have been updating our “Medicaid Unwinding Resources” blog post which has links to various resources including our Medicaid unwinding flyer and recent additions like the Kaiser report and Families USA issue brief mentioned above.
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 changing Medicaid rules regarding redeterminations. These are available in the Community Catalyst Outreach Hub.
If you missed it yesterday, we cohosted a Twitter chat with Young Invincibles entitled “Medicaid Unwinding: What Do You Need to Know?” You can still view the posts from this Twitter chat on the AAHD and Young Invincibles Twitter accounts or by using the hashtag: #MindTheUnwind.
In case you missed it, we released of our newest fact sheet on the unwinding of the Medicaid continuous coverage requirement. You can also find this fact sheet along with other useful resources on the fact sheets page of our website.
To highlight this new fact sheet, we have also released a new Olli the NaviGator comic to show people what their options are if they lose their Medicaid coverage. You can see all of Olli’s adventures on our social media channels plus we have compiled all of Olli’s adventures on this NDNRC webpage.
Many states have started the process of redeterminations and some are already terminating Medicaid enrollment, but timelines look different from state to state. If you’re wondering what the timeline looks like for your state, CMS released a list of key dates by state regarding their redeterminations (see our news item).
On Monday, CMS released the final rule for the 2024 Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters (NBPP). The NBPP is the regulatory framework which CMS uses to operate the federally facilitated marketplace (healthcare.gov). For links to the final rule or the CMS press release or fact sheet, check out our news item.
If you want to learn more about the NBPP, check out the explanatory blog posts from Health Affairs:

A new blog post from Health Affairs takes a look at Medicaid work requirements which have been implemented by states under §1115 waivers.
Recently, we highlighted a federal court decision in Texas which invalidated portions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) (see our news item). The Georgetown Center on Health Insurance Reforms has two new blog posts which examine the potential implications of this decision:
- Coverage of Preventive Services Without Cost Sharing in Jeopardy as Texas Court Strikes Down ACA Protection
- A World Without The ACA’s Preventive Services Protections: The Impact Of The Braidwood Decision
