As of Thursday, more than 3.8 million Medicaid members have been disenrolled from coverage based on data from 41 states and the District of Columbia, according to a KFF analysis . Of the people disenrolled, about 74% of them were disenrolled for procedural reasons, meaning for not completing the renewal process. This can happen when Medicaid enrollees don’t update their contact information or don’t complete renewal packets by a certain time. “High procedural disenrollment rates are concerning because many people who are disenrolled for these paperwork reasons may still be eligible for Medicaid coverage,” KFF said in their analysis. Some states — including Maine — have paused procedural disenrollments temporarily to make improvements to the process. Photo: designer491, Getty Images
