More than 120,000 Ohio kids have been disenrolled from Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program or CHIP, and most were removed for procedural reasons rather than a lack of eligibility.
Children need regular well-child and dental visits to track their development and find health problems early, when they're usually easier to treat, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
The numbers mirror a nationwide trend of more than four million kids uninsured, according to a new report by the Georgetown Center for Children and Families. "We had almost 1.4 million children enrolled in Medicaid in April of 2023," Vyzral recounted."Then we look at December of 2023, and there were 1.2 million children. So that's a 9% change and an actual number difference of 121,577 children."
Joan Alker, executive director of the Georgetown University Center for Children and Families and co-author of the report, said states had many choices about how to structure the unwinding process and how quickly they took action to remove children from Medicaid enrollment.
