Twelve million low-income people with Medicare rely on Medicaid for supplemental insurance. We examined Medicaid disenrollment among these dual-eligible beneficiaries after the unwinding of COVID-19 Medicaid maintenance-of-eligibility policies from April 2023 through September 2024. The overall disenrollment rate was 13.9 percent, but it varied widely by beneficiary demographics, state, and baseline coverage characteristics.
Roberts et al. (Sun,) studied this question.
