Datapoint: CMS Extends Medicaid Redetermination Deadline
CMS on May 9 said it would allow states to complete their Medicaid eligibility redeterminations through June 30, 2025. The agency previously required states to finish the “unwinding” process by the end of 2024. As of May 10, states and Washington, D.C., reported they had completed about three-quarters of their eligibility decisions, according to KFF. About 48.1 million people had their coverage renewed, while 21.9 million people were disenrolled and 24 million people had not found out about their status. KFF reported that 69% of people who were disenrolled had their coverage terminated for procedural reasons. There are 85,001,088 Medicaid beneficiaries across all programs nationwide as of May 2024, according to AIS’s Directory of Health Plans.
