Cracking the Code on H.R. 1 Medicaid Redetermination

Jul 31, 2026

Reaching Medicaid Members to Understand, Act on, and Stay Compliant with New Medicaid Eligibility Requirements

Medicaid members are already harder to reach and engage in their healthcare. Helping them understand
and stay compliant with new eligibility requirements will necessitate an end-to-end solution to reduce
the risk of significant churn. Early signals from states like Nebraska, where work requirements are being
implemented, point to a meaningful increase in the level of engagement required from members.

The Challenge

H.R. 1 introduces new complexity for managed care organizations and their Medicaid members. Organizations will need to help members on a state-by-state basis understand:

  • What is required to maintain eligibility, including logging in monthly to document qualifying activities.
  • What constitutes as proof of compliance across a variety of different areas, including working, job searching, caregiving, and education.
  • That they now have to renew coverage every 6 months instead of yearly.
  • Whether or not they are exempt, such as in the case of disability

If not addressed correctly, plans will experience unnecessary churn, reduced renewal rates, and increased operational cost.

The Revenue Risk of Redetermination


Plans will face an estimated $2 million in lost revenue annually for every 1,000 members disenrolled due to failure to comply with redetermination requirements.
