Insurance Coverage Transitions After Disenrollment From Medicaid in Minnesota

Little is known about where, or how quickly, people gain new health insurance after exiting Medicaid. Understanding these dynamics may be particularly important as Medicaid continuous coverage, a pandemic-relief policy, is discontinued and states resume eligibility redeterminations. Estimates suggest 18 million people will exit Medicaid coverage during this process. This study examines insurance transitions after Medicaid disenrollment in a Medicaid expansion state with relatively generous continuous coverage and eligibility policies.
