The federal public health emergency will likely be extended at least through September after federal health officials did not announce an expiration date last week. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Becerra and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Brooks-LaSure sent a letter to governors on May 17 stating they did not know when the emergency would end, but urged states to take the necessary steps to prepare for the coming wave of Medicaid redeterminations. CMS also released a slide deck that lays out enrollment flexibilities states can apply for and reminds states to consider how to distribute renewals throughout the year since they will be unable to redistribute renewals in future years.
