Medicaid Enrollment is Increasing in Pennsylvania

During the Public Health Emergency (PHE), Medicaid increased by almost 1 million enrollees in Pennsylvania. With the end of the Medicaid Continuous Coverage Requirement on April 1, 2023, enrollment in Medicaid began to steadily decline due to the disenrollment of those who were maintained due to the PHE and then deemed ineligible. In June, enrollment began to increase.  As of August 3, 2024,384 enrollees are accessing Medicaid with 22% of total enrollees from Philadelphia County, 8% from Allegheny, 4% from Delaware and Montgomery and 3% from Berks County. Of these numbers 58% are adults and 42% are children. This represents a 0.1% change over July 2024. Of note, CHIP Enrollment has increased as well to 195,320.
