According to CCF’s child health coverage report, the number of uninsured children stabilized in 2022 due in large part to the continuous coverage protection that prevented children from being disenrolled from Medicaid during the COVID-19 public health emergency. However, the continuous coverage protection has now been lifted and children are losing coverage as states redetermine eligibility for everyone enrolled. Nationwide, an estimated three out of four children losing coverage during this period will still be eligible for Medicaid or CHIP but could fall through the cracks due to procedural issues.
