WASHINGTON (PRWEB) April 29, 2023 -- The Population Health Alliance and Sellers Dorsey have published a compelling new issue brief which examines the Medicaid Redetermination and the critical importance of Continuous Medicaid eligibility, which has been in place since the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) of 2020. The organizations have engaged leaders in the field from their respective organizations to comprehensively examine not only the impact FFCRA has had impact on Medicaid enrollment, but also ways the ending continuous eligibility may impact the redetermination process.

“This is an unprecedented time for Medicaid and the organizations that support this vital program. It is in all stakeholders’ interest to assure continuity of coverage and care, avoiding unnecessary increases in cost and poor outcomes for this vulnerable population,” states Bill Lucia, PHA Board Director and Chair of PHA’s Medicaid Continuity & Quality Workgroup, which spearheaded the effort alongside Co-Chair, Leesa Allen, for the multi-stakeholder professional and trade association solely focused on population health management.

The 14-page report, entitled Medicaid Redetermination Getting it Right to Optimize Continuity and Care Outcomes, is a collaborative effort between the Population Health Alliance (PHA) and Sellers Dorsey. The newly released report summarizes the background of continuous eligibility, the predicted impacts to ending it, and opportunities for states, managed care organizations (MCOs), providers, and community-based organizations (CBOs) to assist individuals during this time of transition.

“Medicaid agencies have begun the challenging task of redetermining eligibility for over 90 million individuals who are now covered under the Medicaid program. A significant number may no longer qualify for Medicaid and the effects of this will be far reaching and be felt across the health and human services sector,” explains Leesa Allen, Co-Chair of PHA’s Medicaid Workgroup, Managing Director of Sellers Dorsey and Former State Medicaid Director. The issue brief presents key points for consideration by state and federal stakeholders, as well as insurers in order to mitigate any risk related to loss or reduction of coverage related to disruption of Medicaid benefits.

Preliminary studies have indicated that many individuals may lose coverage or experience a reduction in benefits, as a result of potential challenges with the eligibility redetermination process. The new issue brief examines this scenario from the perspective of. a population health management approach that embraces collaboration between multiple stakeholders. This timely and critical analysis is an important planning resource for MCO’s, state leaders, healthcare providers, community-based organizations and other stakeholders with a significant commitment to population health.

The report was developed by the Population Health Alliance Member Medicaid Continuity & Quality Workgroup with the support of Sellers Dorsey and is available here for immediate download. Additionally, the organizations will host a free webinar to review the findings addressed in the issue brief and discuss Medicaid Redetermination and the Optimization of Continuity of Care Outcomes on Thursday, May 11 at 1:00pm ET. Registration and details are available here.
