Early in the pandemic, Congress passed the Families First Coronavirus Relief Act (FFCRA), which included a provision enabling states to receive an increased Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) of 6.2% provided that they accept a prohibition on terminating Medicaid enrollment until the end of the PHE (known as the “continuous coverage” requirement). With the end of the federal public health emergency (PHE) potentially nearing, NACHC is focused on policy solutions to prepare for the eventual Medicaid redetermination “cliff” that could result in a sizable amount of enrollees losing coverage. This session will focus specifically on ways that health centers, PCA, and HCCNs can utilize communications tools and outreach to support their patients through this process.
Learning Objectives
- Have a better understanding of the challenges associated with the Medicaid public health emergency unwinding, including the need for greater coordination between states and external stakeholders and the importance of direct communications with patients who may be impacted.
- Develop tools and strategies that health centers, PCAs, and HCCNs can adopt to support their direct engagement with patients and other stakeholders.
- Pursue specific projects, either independently or in conjunction with NACHC and other stakeholders, that will support their efforts to protect patients impacted by the Medicaid public health emergency unwinding.
