Why This Matters
A coalition of Medicaid beneficiaries, medical associations, and a municipality allege that a federal rule to implement Medicaid work and community engagement requirements violates the Administrative Procedure Act. Several parts of the rule, the coalition argues, are inconsistent with new statutory Medicaid work requirements and will make it harder for vulnerable Americans to maintain coverage that they should otherwise qualify for. The rule will also impose significant documentation requirements on health care providers and patients to prove that a patient’s medical condition impairs their ability to work or volunteer.

Potential Impact
Administrative burdens on providers and patients could result in a loss of Medicaid coverage for millions of otherwise eligible patients and reduce access to care for vulnerable populations.
