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all disenrollments across states were for procedural reasons (failure to complete the renewal⁢ process, often⁣ due to outdated contact info or ⁤incomplete paperwork).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.
