Highlights from "Medicaid Insights: Medicaid Redetermination"
Health Tech 4 Medicaid
We're on a mission to radically change the pace of innovation in Medicaid, improving quality, equity and access to care.
On June 28, 2024, HeathTech 4 Medicaid held another webinar in our “Medicaid Insights” series! “Medicaid Insights: Medicaid Redetermination” featured an impassioned panel of experts navigating the midst of Medicaid redetermination and its impact on the Medicaid community. The conversation featured Adimika Arthur, CEO & Executive Director, HT4M ; Kate McEvoy, Executive Director, National Association of Medical Directors ; Melisa Byrd, Medicaid Director, DC Department of Health Care Finance ;?Ron Wyatt, Founder & CEO, Achieving Health Equity LLC ;?and Robin Rudowitz, Vice President,?KFF ?and Director of Program on Medicaid and? the Uninsured.?
Robin Rudowitz kicked off the webinar with a comprehensive review of Medicaid Redetermination, anchoring on Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF)'s recently published?annual eligibility report . ?Following the end of paused disenrollment on March 31, 2023, states began adjusting their processes, leading to a decline in Medicaid enrollment from the pandemic peak.
Despite staffing challenges, states have employed new methods, such as 1902(e)14 waivers , to streamline renewals. However, communication with current Medicaid enrollees about the redetermination process remains a critical challenge, with many facing coverage loss and now high healthcare costs. The full impact of the unwinding period on overall coverage is still unknown.?
Our webinar explored the effects of the unwinding period on both patients and administrative processes in delivering Medicaid to vulnerable populations.
