As a reminder, this discussion covered compliance and exemption pathways under the Medicaid work requirements Interim Final Rule, state flexibility, and the narrowed "medically frail" exemption, along with a broader conversation on protecting coverage for people with SUD.

This is part of a series — our next session will be held on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, focused on protecting coverage for justice impacted individuals. Register here.

Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.
