Connecticut Providers Prepare for 110K HUSKY Disenrollments Under Federal Eligibility Changes
Federal Medicaid eligibility changes take effect in January 2027 and could result in approximately 110,000 Connecticut residents losing HUSKY coverage. Connecticut health care providers, including hospitals and clinics, are actively preparing for the expected enrollment losses. The changes stem from federal legislation that modifies Medicaid eligibility criteria. Providers are most concerned about continuity of care disruptions and potential increases in uncompensated care as beneficiaries lose coverage.
A 110,000-member enrollment drop represents significant revenue loss for Connecticut Medicaid managed care plans and safety-net providers, requiring operational adjustments to network capacity, provider contracts, and utilization management ahead of January implementation.
