Following a three-year pause on dropping Alaskans from Medicaid during the COVID pandemic, the state health department is now changing how it processes renewals, to keep more people enrolled.
Medicaid is federally funded, state-administered health insurance for Americans with lower incomes and disabilities. It serves about a third of Alaska residents. “We needed to really look deeper to see if a member in that household could have remained eligible, without further paperwork,” she said. Soon, Etheridge said, the department will get more-detailed demographic data about who is being procedurally disenrolled, which may change the ways they reach out to people who need to renew.
