New Policy Brief: Resolving Enrollment Conflicts as States Expand Medicaid

As some states start to expand Medicaid after January 1, 2014 they face an enrollment issue for newly eligible adults between 100-138% Federal Poverty Level who are already enrolled in a marketplace health plan.  These people need to move from their current subsidized health plan into Medicaid but there are programmatic barriers as to how easily this can happen.  States and the federal government have been working together to try and make sure no one in this group loses health coverage or experiences tax complications.  This brief assembles some of the resources and experience out there so far and will be updated with new information as states like Pennsylvania work through these issues.
