After a long break during the COVID-19 pandemic, states this month can start culling Medicaid rolls again. That means millions of people across the country could lose coverage because they no longer are eligible or simply fail to complete the recertification process.

With clinics in Mobile, Baldwin and four other counties, Franklin is one of the largest health care providers for people covered by the health insurance program for the poor. White said about 12,000 of the system’s 37,000 clients are on Medicaid. White said folks can bring their letters and their recertification packets to one of his clinics, where staff can help them. He said people need to have their Social Security numbers also.
That is a good option for many people who do not get insurance from their employers but do not qualify for Medicaid, according to Kathy Hempsted, a senior policy adviser with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. “They may have changed their address or, you know, not opened a piece of mail and not be aware of what’s going on and just mistakenly be terminated from the program,” Hempsted said.
