NC attorney general: Last-minute Medicaid rule change will cost counties millions

North Carolina Attorney General Jeff Jackson and 23 other states sued the federal government over revised Medicaid work requirement guidelines, arguing the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) imposed an overly strict definition of 'medically frail.' The lawsuit claims the new rules, effective June 1, add unnecessary hurdles for Medicaid beneficiaries with serious health conditions, risking coverage loss and increased administrative burdens.
