Arizona is among the first states to begin the Medicaid renewal process after the government paused disenrollments during the pandemic. But experts say that doesn't mean anyone will be kicked off.
Arizona is among the first states to begin the Medicaid renewal process after the government paused disenrollments during the pandemic.
"I'm seeing a lot of headlines that say, 'Arizona to kick people off Medicaid,' but that's not entirely what's happening," says Heidi Capriotti, the public information officer for AHCCCS."We are renewing everyone and disenrolling those who are no longer eligible." "People may have come on to AHCCCS when they had a job loss or experienced some other kind of economic impact, and perhaps they've gone back to work since," Capriotti explains."What's really important is that no one goes without healthcare coverage," Capriotti says."So if someone is no longer eligible for Medicaid, there are other healthcare options available.
