Half a million people, including kids, mistakenly dropped from Medicaid

"Half a million people, including a significant number of children, were wrongly kicked off Medicaid because of state system errors, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services said Thursday.

Twenty-nine states and Washington, D.C., were erroneously reviewing eligibility for Medicaid at the family level instead of on an individual basis, the agency said. That means thousands of people, including children, were deemed ineligible for the low-income insurance program when they should have been automatically reenrolled.

CMS alerted states to the problem late last month and ordered them to immediately reinstate coverage for anyone who lost their insurance and pause disenrollments for anyone else who may be affected while they fix the underlying issue — or risk losing federal funding."
