US EditionLawsuit seeks to halt Medicaid terminations in Florida
- Two consumer advocacy groups have filed a lawsuit in a Florida federal court to stop the state from terminating residents' Medicaid benefits. This is the first lawsuit in the nation challenging states' resumption of reviewing Medicaid enrollees' eligibility and dropping those deemed no longer qualified.
- The plaintiffs argue that the notices sent by the agencies to inform enrollees of their loss of eligibility are confusing and insufficient in explaining the reasons for the termination of coverage. They claim that this lack of adequate notice leaves them unable to understand the decision, contest the loss of coverage, or plan for a smooth transition of care.
