60% of Medicaid beneficiaries unaware of eligibility renewal: Study

A recent survey of adults found more than 60% are not aware their eligibility for Medicaid could be in danger, underscoring the massive task states and managed care plans face ahead of an April 1 deadline, Fierce Healthcare reports. The analysis, published Feb. 16 by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, showed that 64% of Medicaid beneficiaries surveyed weren’t aware of the looming renewal process, virtually unchanged from a similar analysis back in June 2022 that found 62% of adults were not aware.
