Preparing For H.R.1: Managing Medicaid Eligibility, Redeterminations & Access To Care

Preparing For H.R.1: Managing Medicaid Eligibility, Redeterminations & Access To Care

H.R.1 is poised to reshape Medicaid eligibility administration, redetermination processes, and coverage requirements across the country. While the impact will vary by state, behavioral health and human services organizations are already evaluating how evolving requirements may affect operations, staffing, documentation, reimbursement, and patient access to care.

For provider organizations, the challenge extends beyond compliance. Changes in eligibility verification, renewal requirements, and coverage continuity have the potential to increase administrative burden, disrupt revenue cycles, and create new barriers to care for vulnerable populations.

Join OPEN MINDS and Streamline Healthcare Solutions for an executive-level discussion on the practical implications of H.R.1 and the strategies organizations can implement today to prepare for what’s ahead. This session will explore emerging policy considerations, operational readiness, workforce impacts, and technology-enabled approaches that can help organizations navigate increasing eligibility management demands while maintaining access to care.

Attendees will learn more about:

• Key H.R.1 provisions impacting Medicaid eligibility and redetermination processes
• Potential operational, financial, and workforce implications for provider organizations
• Strategies to reduce coverage interruptions and support continuity of care
• Best practices for preparing workflows and documentation for increased eligibility management demands
• How automation and eligibility verification technology can improve efficiency, accuracy, and organizational readiness
