Medicaid Enrollment & Unwinding Tracker
Summary of Medicaid Enrollment Unwinding (as of September 12, 2024)
HereS a summary of the key information from the provided text:
Important Disenrollment: At least 25,198,000 Medicaid enrollees have been disenrolled during the unwinding of the continuous enrollment provision. This represents 31% of those with completed renewals. 69% (56.4 million) have had their coverage renewed.
State Variation: Disenrollment rates vary considerably by state,ranging from 57% in Montana to 12% in North Carolina. This is linked to differences in renewal policies, system capacity, adn expansion/eligibility changes (like Medicaid expansion in North carolina and South Dakota).
Procedural Disenrollments Dominate: 69% of all disenrollments across states were for procedural reasons (failure to complete the renewal process, often due to outdated contact info or incomplete paperwork). This is concerning as many of these individuals may still be eligible.
Renewal Methods: Of those whose coverage has been renewed,61% were renewed “ex parte” (automatically,without requiring further action from the enrollee),while 39% were renewed through a more traditional process.
vital Note on Data: The data on procedural disenrollment rates is presented with diffrent denominators (total disenrollments,total completed renewals,and all renewals due) to provide a more nuanced understanding.
