Beneficiaries18

• Most Medicaid enrollees aged 65 and over are also Medicare beneficiaries. (cdc.gov)
• Dual eligibles are eligible for the same Medicare benefits as other Medicare beneficiaries but also may qualify for partial Medicaid benefits (to cover Medicare premiums and cost sharing) or full Medicaid benefits. (cdc.gov)
• While the current Medicaid expansion demonstrations vary, they share a major focus: increasing beneficiaries' financial responsibility for the cost of coverage and care. (commonwealthfund.org)
• Demonstrations include requirements that Medicaid beneficiaries pay enrollment fees and cost-sharing that exceed traditional Medicaid limits. (commonwealthfund.org)
• Both changes require demonstration authority under 1115 because federal Medicaid law currently bars the use of premiums and enrollment fees for beneficiaries with incomes below 150 percent of the federal poverty level-about $36,500 for a family of four-and limits cost-sharing to nominal amounts 1 based on evidence documenting the impact of financial costs on access to care for low-income individuals. (commonwealthfund.org)

• One explanation is that the program enjoys surprisingly strong interest-group support from providers (especially hospitals and nursing homes), insurers (especially those that participate in Medicaid managed-care programs), and employers (whose low-wage employees are often Medicaid beneficiaries). (tcf.org)
• By appropriately redirecting state funds to address the comprehensive needs of people with complex care needs, states can rein in escalating costs and improve the quality of care delivered to high-risk and vulnerable Medicaid beneficiaries. (nga.org)
• The South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (SCDHHS) discovered on April 10 that an employee of the state's Medicaid program had transferred personal information of 228,435 Medicaid beneficiaries to his personal email account. (darkreading.com)

• The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored just how critical Medicare and Medicaid are, and have unearthed challenges providers and consumers alike face as they interact with both. (leadingage.org)

• States will eventually have to cover 10 percent of the cost for Medicaid expansion enrollees, so if the people from 100 to 133 percent of the poverty level move from Medicaid to the ACA marketplaces under a partial expansion, it would save states money - and cost the feds more, because they would now have to provide tax credits for private coverage for those people. (vox.com)

• The declining federal match for the expansion group (which will continue to phase down to 90% by 2020) resulted in state Medicaid spending growth outpacing total spending growth (4.9% compared to 4.2%) in FY 2018, the first full state fiscal year that states were required to pay a share of expansion costs.
