In notices posted June 25, CMS Administrator Chiquita Brooks-LaSure wrote the requirements would result in many people losing health coverage.

Both states had yet to implement the requirements, with Indiana saying earlier this year the rules would not become effective until after the pandemic. Similar Medicaid regulations remain in other Republican-leaning states including Ohio, South Carolina and Utah, the publication said.

At the Becker's 5th Annual Fall Payer Issues Roundtable, taking place November 2–3 in Chicago, payer executives and healthcare leaders will come together to discuss value-based care, regulatory changes, cost management strategies and innovations shaping the future of payer-provider collaboration.
