New CMS data show decrease in Medicaid, CHIP enrollment among children
The Department of Health and Human Services Dec. 18 released new data on Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program enrollment changes since renewals for these programs started earlier this year, showing enrollment in Medicaid and CHIP is down significantly compared to peak enrollment during the pandemic. According to HHS, “state policy choices have real consequences for children and families during Medicaid and CHIP renewals.” HHS released new comprehensive guidance and extended flexibilities to states and separate letters offering further assistance to the governors of nine states (Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Montana, New Hampshire, Ohio, South Dakota and Texas) with the highest disenrollment for children.
