Child Medicaid and CHIP Enrollment Drops by 2 Million Since January 2025

Medicaid and CHIP enrollment among children declined by 2 million between January 2025 and April 2026, according to state-by-state enrollment data. The drop suggests a rising child uninsured rate during this period. The enrollment decline affects managed care organizations through reduced membership and capitation revenue, particularly in states with high CHIP and Medicaid managed care penetration. Plans should monitor monthly enrollment reports and assess financial impacts from membership losses in pediatric populations.
