WEBINAR | Unwinding the Federal Medicaid Continuous Coverage Requirements

Kinda Serafi, JD, Partner, Manatt. The current Medicaid continuous coverage requirement prohibits states from disenrolling individuals from Medicaid for the duration of the public health emergency (PHE) as a condition of accessing enhanced federal Medicaid funding. As these federal continuous coverage requirements come to an end, state Medicaid agencies will undertake the massive task of redetermining eligibility for nearly every Medicaid enrolled person in the country, over 90 million individuals.  This webinar reviews the federal requirements related to the continuous coverage requirements and discusses states’ priorities with respect to mitigating coverage loss.  The webinar also discusses the role other stakeholders—managed care plans, providers, and community-based organizations—can play in supporting states as we face the biggest coverage event since the passage of the Affordable Care Act.
