States Can Still Maximize Coverage Retention Through 1902(e)(14) Flexibilities

To encourage states’ take-up of unwinding-related section 1902(e)(14) waivers, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced an extension of these waivers through December 31, 2024 (or a later date approved by CMS) and offered new operational considerations and illustrative scenarios to assist states in implementing the waivers. This issue brief is intended to help states evaluate whether to take up additional section 1902(e)(14) waiver flexibilities and determine which to explore further based on emerging evidence of their effectiveness.
