The path to prepared

63%

knew requirements were coming.

33%

were most concerned about knowing if they qualify.

44%

said they are not currently prepared to submit the required documentation.

71%

said their primary concerns included eligibility, exemptions, accidental coverage loss, and general uncertainty.

53%

Continuity of Care

Coverage Disruption Can Become Care Disruption

%

Nearly Nine in Ten Respondenents

said losing Medicaid coverage would moderately or significantly affect their health or ability to access needed care and supplies.

Why It Matters for Health Plans

Readiness outreach is part of protecting continuity of care, not simply preventing administrative churn.

  • "I don’t feel like I have enough information about the new Medicaid work requirements or how they may affect my family. I’m concerned about how these changes could impact my son’s coverage and access to the care and services he needs. Clearer information about the requirements, exemptions, and steps families need to take would help me feel more prepared."

The Readiness Challenge For Health Plans

Our conversations with national and regional health plans have revealed several consistent concerns health plans are bracing for.

Concern Heard from Health Plans What It Requires Operationally
Member attrition after missed or incomplete reporting Identify likely at-risk members early and repeat the action before the deadline.
Member confusion and frustration Use plain language and separate work reporting, renewal, and exemption instructions.
Uncertainty about state implementation Maintain state-specific content and update it as official guidance changes.
Compliance limits on partner outreach Preapprove content, audiences, channels, data fields, and escalation paths.
Limited visibility into individual readiness Add short readiness questions to existing social-needs and clinical-compliance surveys.

Health plans hold the eligibility, timing and reporting information needed to make outreach precise. They do not have to carry the communication burden alone.

The Information and Reminder Gap

Members want authoritative information, but many report that they have not received a reminder.

63%

Members want information from the authoritative source.

Respondents said Medicaid was the source they would trust most for accurate information about the requirements.

46%

said they had received no reminders about the upcoming requirements.

A precise outreach model requires two complementary roles.
