Medicaid After Reconciliation: Understanding the Impact

President Donald Trump's July 4 signing of the 2025 budget reconciliation bill into law marks one of the most consequential overhauls of federal health policy since the Affordable Care Act (ACA). In an effort to help educate clients on its impact, Holland & Knight's Healthcare Policy Team invites you to the first in a series of webinars where we will cover in more detail what this legislation means for the healthcare industry.

In this inaugural webinar, our attorneys and professionals will discuss the One Big Beautiful Bill Act's most significant changes targeting the Medicaid program and conduct a deep dive into how clients can prepare.

Topics will include:

• imposing nationwide community engagement requirements for able-bodied adults to maintain Medicaid coverage
• lowering the cap on provider taxes in expansion states
• adding reimbursement level caps on State Directed Payment programs
• shortening eligibility look-back periods
• tightening the renewal and eligibility verification processes
• introducing cost-sharing for Medicaid expansion enrollees earning above 100 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL)
• launching a $50 billion rural health fund to help mitigate the impact on underserved communities
