According to the latest data from KFF’s Medicaid Enrollment and Unwinding Tracker, more than 24.5 million people have been disenrolled from Medicaid as of July 23. Among reporting states, there is wide variation in Medicaid disenrollment rates, KFF noted, ranging from 57% in Montana to 12% in North Carolina. The nonprofit foundation said some of that variation is likely explained by “who states are targeting with early renewals as well as differences in renewal policies and system capacity.” Overall, 31% of people with a completed renewal were disenrolled in reporting states while 69%, or 53.6 million enrollees, had their coverage renewed, KFF said.
