Georgia Adds HIV Diagnoses to Medicaid Work Requirement Exemptions
Georgia health officials amended the state's medically frail criteria to include certain HIV diagnoses, exempting these enrollees from work requirements to maintain Medicaid eligibility. The change reverses an earlier decision that excluded HIV from the exemption list, which had drawn concern from advocates. The revision affects low-income Medicaid enrollees living with qualifying HIV diagnoses in Georgia's program. This reflects state discretion in defining medical frailty under work requirement policies.
The change directly affects which Georgia Medicaid enrollees with HIV must comply with work requirements versus qualifying for medical frailty exemptions, a key enrollment and retention issue for plans and providers serving this population.
