It's now been one year since the first states began redetermining Medicaid eligibility following a three-year period of continuous coverage enrollment during the COVID-19 public health emergency.
Below are 10 key figures from KFF showing the most recent data collected about the Medicaid redetermination process nationwide over the last year.
- In March 2023, 94 million people were facing Medicaid redeterminations.
- As of March 2024, 19.2 million people (20%) have been disenrolled from Medicaid across all 50 states and Washington, D.C.
- 40.6 million people (43%) have had their coverage renewed since March 2023.
- 34.3 million renewals (36%) remain across the country.
- Among completed redeterminations, Utah has the highest disenrollment rate (57%), while Maine has the highest renewal rate (88%).
- Across all states with available data, 70% of disenrolled individuals had their coverage terminated for procedural reasons, though these rates vary based on how the state calculates them.
- As a percentage of total disenrollments, Nevada and New Mexico have the highest procedural termination rates (93%), while Maine has the lowest (22%).
- As of March 26, at least 3.4 million children have been disenrolled from Medicaid. This data is limited because only 21 states report age breakout data.
- Among states reporting youth data, Texas has the highest youth disenrollment rate as a share of total disenrollments (64%), while Oregon has the lowest (20%).
- Utah has seen the biggest net change in total Medicaid enrollment since redeterminations began (32% decrease), while Hawaii is the only state to see an increase (0.1%).
