NUMBER OF GEORGIANS DROPPED FROM MEDICAID NEARS 500,000

behind in re-evaluating all 2.8 million Georgia Medicaid recipients

The charity Intown Cares helps people navigate the safety net, including
Medicaid, when they can't figure out state websites or reach someone on the
phone. In this photo from November, Intown Cares Support Specialist Tanya
Davenport, in blue, speaks with a client, Jose Roldan, as intern Chelsea
Piccirilli listens. They hold their periodic support sessions behind Druid Hills
Presbyterian Church where the Intown Food Pantry operates. On the day this photo
was taken several clients were trying to figure out their status in Medicaid
redetermination and how to stay enrolled. (PHOTO by Hyosub Shin /

Georgia has dropped at least 488,000 from Medicaid, the government health
insurance for the poor, as part of a federally mandated project to ensure those
covered by the program qualify to remain on it.
Georgia began the process of redetermination with 2.8 million Medicaid
recipients, which account for a quarter of the state’s population.
The state recently released the number it had disenrolled through Dec. 31 — the
halfway point in what was projected to be a 14-month project to re-certify all
Medicaid recipients. The numbers show it’s not yet reviewed even half the
state’s recipients. Officials told lawmakers at the Legislature Tuesday that a
shortage of workers has delayed the work.
