NEW: Our tracker has hit 5 million net Medicaid child loss 😰

Florida just posted enrollment data for April and that sent the tracker over 5M

Another 46,809 kid decline in Florida

You may recall this happened on Easter Sunday

CHIP in FL only ⬆️ 6,407 during same period

Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
With Medicaid multi-year continuous coverage,
Kids w/o health care will be few.

🚨“The scope of this problem is large" - @JoanAlker1 to @nytimes on #BreakingNews from @CMSGov about major errors in state procedures for reviewing Medicaid eligibility https://t.co/sKjukYJljE

[Joan Alker @JoanAlker1]

There’s confusion about the scope of the text of the McCarthy Medicaid text.

Our read: The new reporting system is NOT waivable or optional for states that don’t want to do this. It amends Sects. 1903 + 1905 which are not subject to 1115 waiver.

Do your students receive Medicaid-funded school health services?

Continuous coverage protection has ended. But schools can still help families with outreach, enrollment, assistance & more!
