    New guidance released earlier this year by @CMSGov has many states working to rebuild their Medicaid systems to meet new federal work requirements. With the January 1 deadline approaching, states can take action now to mitigate as much harm as possible. Here's what we suggest.
    Utilize Data Integration Minimize the information you request from clients when you already have access to that data. Data sharing agreements with other state programs can empower exchanges of this information. By reducing redundant requests, states save caseworker time and reduce the risk of error.
    Sequence Steps to Compliance Clients should be routed through efficient pathways to compliance, in as few steps as possible. When first evaluating clients, establish if work requirements apply, and only proceed forward if they do. Verify exemptions and compliance with automation first. Request more information only if automation fails.
    Prioritize Client Communication Coverage losses occur primarily due to lack of awareness and understanding, not eligibility. Communication systems and processes are a core component of implementation. Medicaid regulations require multichannel outreach. Texts, emails, and e-notices will reach clients more quickly and reliably than mail.
    Involve the Medical Community With the narrower interpretation of medical frailty requirements, the medical community has a more important role in making sure that eligible people get and keep coverage. Involving medical providers in reporting, verifying, and advocating for clients will provide benefits for states, clients, and providers themselves.
