Summary
AHCCCS announced that Medicaid and KidsCare disenrollments will resume when the federal public health emergency ends, affecting approximately 500,000 currently enrolled adults and children who will need to complete eligibility renewals. Since March 2020, AHCCCS has suspended disenrollments for most members as required by federal pandemic-era requirements. The announcement directs members to update contact information and respond to renewal correspondence to avoid coverage gaps.
What this may mean
When the federal PHE ends, AHCCCS will reinstate standard redetermination processes and disenroll individuals who no longer meet financial or medical eligibility criteria. An estimated 500,000 current enrollees face renewal review, with those no longer qualifying losing Medicaid or KidsCare coverage. Health plans and providers serving the AHCCCS population should anticipate potential membership and patient volume changes as redeterminations proceed.
