PHE unwinding

Guiding agencies seamlessly through PHE unwinding

Resuming regular eligibility and enrollment operations is proving to be anything but "back to normal." State agencies are facing new challenges to unwind the public health emergency (PHE). Maximus has the experience to help you navigate the road ahead.

Bridging the coverage gap: connecting consumers to federal and state-based marketplaces

After a three-year pause, states are resuming the recertification of Medicaid and CHIP eligibility for over 91 million people nationwide. Helping millions of Medicaid ineligible individuals find and enroll in affordable health coverage is critical to ensuring they retain access to healthcare. For many who lose Medicaid coverage, a state-based or federal marketplace coverage may be a viable option.
