CMS releases bulletin on 2023 changes to Medicaid continuous enrollment requirement
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services yesterday released guidance on changes this year to the Medicaid continuous enrollment requirement under recently enacted legislation funding the federal government through fiscal year 2023. The Families First Coronavirus Response Act required states claiming a temporary 6.2 percentage point increase in the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage to continue Medicaid coverage for most enrollees through the COVID-19 public health emergency. Under the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023, the Medicaid continuous enrollment requirement will end April 1 and the temporary FMAP increase will phase down beginning April 1 and end on Dec. 31, among other changes.
