Millions who are eligible free or low-cost health coverage may not know that states' annual renewal requirements are resuming, post-COVID emergency.
When the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency expired in May, a federal rule that protected people from losing Medicaid coverage during the pandemic expired with it, putting millions of people at risk of losing health insurance.
Medicaid, like Medicare, is a federally-funded healthcare program, but the programs serve different populations and have different eligibility criteria. Medicare is designed primarily for individuals aged 65 and older, but it also covers younger individuals with disabilities who are citizens or permanent residents of the U.S.
Additionally, CMS is offering technical assistance to states overseeing Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Programs and have been engaging in public education about the necessary steps for the end of the Medicaid continuous enrollment condition and the expiration of many other temporary authorities adopted by states during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency. Additional information on this process is on the Medicaid website.
Further guidance for plans that serve people enrolled in both Medicaid and Medicare Advantage and are eligible for special needs plans also is available on the CMS website. “Dual-eligible individuals are those who qualify for both programs and may receive additional assistance through Medicaid to cover Medicare premiums, deductibles, copayments and services not covered by Medicare,” he added.
