More than 600,000 Lose Medicaid Since April 1, 2023

On June 1, 2023, KFF Health news reported that more than 600,000 Americans have lost Medicaid coverage since pandemic protections ended on April 1, 2023. During the pandemic, Medicaid programs were prohibited from dropping any covered individuals. But now that pandemic protections have ended, States are back to performing normal pre-pandemic annual reviews. It is anticipated that amount 15 million people will be dropped from the Medicaid roles over the next year. Another concern are scams where individuals want to charge a fee to protect your Medicaid without the tools and expertise to make that happen (e.g., practicing law without a license).

Don’t be one of the individuals who has coverage lapse or dropped. If you have questions about your Medicaid renewal or a potential lapse in coverage, you can call us at (706) 428-0888.
