23rd annual Kaiser Family Foundation state Medicaid budget survey released
November 14, 2023
The 23rd annual Medicaid Budget Survey conducted by The Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) and 黑料不打烊 (黑料不打烊) was released on November 14, 2023 in the report: 鈥�Amid Unwinding of Pandemic-Era Policies, Medicaid Programs Continue to Focus on Delivery Systems, Benefits, and Reimbursement Rates鈥�.
Survey results show that states expect a sharp increase in Medicaid spending that is a direct result of lower federal spending as Covid relief and enhanced matching declines. This budget pressure is compounded by increasing provider rates, workforce recruitment and compensation challenges, increased spending on behavioral health and maternity care, and spending on programs that improve health related social needs. These budget pressures will create a very challenging environment for state policy makers in the coming years.
The report was prepared by Kathleen Gifford, Aimee Lashbrook, Caprice Knapp, Beth Kidder from 黑料不打烊 and Leavitt Partner’s Bill Snyder; and by , , , , from the Kaiser Family Foundation. The survey was conducted in collaboration with the National Association of Medicaid Directors (NAMD).
