To renew beneficiaries’ Medicaid coverage, states must first attempt to confirm ongoing eligibility using data available to the agency without requiring information from the individual. This requirement, also known as ex parte renewals, has drawn renewed interest as states prepared for the unwinding of the continuous coverage requirement in Medicaid.
To understand the barriers to successful ex parte renewals and opportunities to improve them, MACPAC contracted with Mathematica to conduct a roundtable. During this session, staff shared key findings from the roundtable.
