Thousands of people are being dropped from the Medicaid and Peach Care for Kids programs in Georgia. A report from the Urban Institute reveals that Georgia and 11 other states are dis-enrolling more children than adults from Medicaid. The federal government mandated Medicaid re-determinations following the end of COVID-19 emergency rules, leading to terminations for procedural reasons and referrals to alternative health insurance options. State officials are actively reaching out to Medicaid members to guide them through the re-determination process, but many remain confused or unaware of the changes.
