(Montana – MFP) Montana had a 27% drop in childhood Medicaid enrollment from April to December 2023, the second highest in the nation, according to a new report published by the Georgetown University McCourt School of Public Policy
The study finds that childhood Medicaid enrollment dropped by more than four million nationwide during eligibility redeterminations in 2023. That figure does not include all children who lost Medicaid coverage but were later able to re-enroll.
The report shows that more than 133,000 children were covered by Montana Medicaid programs in April 2023, the month that redeterminations began. But by December, enrollment numbers had dropped to about 97,800.
This story comes from the Montana Free Press.
