The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services yesterday released states’ anticipated timelines to begin renewing eligible Medicaid enrollments and terminating others after the COVID-19 public health emergency. Under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, states must maintain nearly all their Medicaid enrollees during the PHE to receive a temporary 6.2 percentage point increase in their Federal Medical Assistance Percentage and will have up to 12 months to return to normal eligibility and enrollment operations after the emergency. Under the Continuous Appropriations Act of 2023, the continuous enrollment requirement was delinked from the PHE and will end on March 31, and the FMAP increase will phase out beginning April 1 and end on Dec. 31, 2023.
