Senators question Deloitte, other contractors over Medicaid eligibility systems

Sens. Ron Wyden, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and Raphael Warnock sent a letter Oct. 10 to Deloitte, Conduent, General Dynamics Information Technology and Gainwell Technologies probing how they determine Medicaid access.

The letter comes amid broader legislation that enforces stricter Medicaid enrollment verifications.

The letter to Deloitte requested specifics on whether any of the company’s state Medicaid contracts include clauses tying payments to the number of people removed from Medicaid, along with details on how eligibility is determined.

“Time and time again, the same vendors incorrectly implement Medicaid program rules and build systems with persistent usability and compliance issues,” the letter 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.
