- Abstract:
- This brief estimates the potential effects of Medicaid work experiments on community health centers and their patients. Our analysis focuses on seven states with approved experiments and uses data from the federal government's 2017 Uniform Data System. We find that across the seven states, between 120,000 and 169,000 adult health center patients could be expected to lose Medicaid coverage during the initial experimental year. As a result of declining Medicaid enrollment, health centers in these states would lose between $89 and $125 million in Medicaid revenue in the first year alone, which in turn could be expected to result in an overall drop in patient care capacity of between 104,000 and 147,000 and staffing reductions of between 815 and 1,145 FTE staff members.
