The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) are reporting data on the number of people who have transitioned from Medicaid to a Marketplace plan. (See data for states that use HealthCare.gov and for states that operate their own exchange.) Through December 2023, more than 3.4 million people had transitioned from Medicaid/CHIP to a private qualified health plan in the Marketplace, and another 257,116 had transitioned to a Basic Health Program (currently only available in New York and Minnesota). There is some lag in the data reporting, but millions of people who previously had Medicaid/CHIP had transitioned to a Marketplace plan during the first several months of the unwinding process. If you’ve lost or will soon lose Medicaid or CHIP coverage and you’re not eligible to enroll in employer-sponsored coverage, a Marketplace plan could be a good option. It’s certainly worth your time to explore the available plans and understand the financial assistance that may be available to you through the Marketplace.
