More than 22.8 million people have lost health coverage during the #Medicaid #unwinding as of early June. Of those, 7 in 10 lost coverage because of procedural reasons--not proven changes in eligibility. The Association for Community Affiliated Plans (ACAP) joined the Connecting to Coverage Coalition to identify lessons learned and best practices to ensure eligible people #StayCovered. Check out the recommendations for #redeterminations going forward below.

Learn how these strategies can help reduce coverage gaps and improve health outcomes. 🔗 https://bit.ly/3Ru0RJR #Medicaid #MedicaidUnwinding #PublicHealth #HealthcareAccess #CHIP #HealthPolicy
