      “Deemed Newborns:” Collateral Damage in the PHE Unwinding

      This blog is about the babies on the bus.  You know, the ones who go “Wah-Wah-Wah” all around the town. It seems that, in the course of the PHE unwinding, some of them are getting thrown under the bus. As my colleague Elisabeth Wright Burak recently reported, Arkansas disenrolled 3,300 newborns from Medicaid in April; […]

      Transitional Medical Assistance (TMA): Extending Medicaid Coverage for Working Parents

      Terminations of Medicaid eligibility are much in the news these days.  While the large majority of disenrollments to date have been for procedural reasons, there are individuals who have been disenrolled after a state Medicaid agency has actually made a determination that the individual is ineligible.  In these situations, the agency is required to determine […]

      Medicaid Managed Care: Denials of Prior Authorization for Services

      Kudos to the OIG!  That would be the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services.  Although OIG is better known for its fraud-fighting persona, it also has a broader mission of making government programs work better.  And with last month’s report, “High Rates of Prior Authorization Denials by Some […]
