Episode Description from the Publisher

Protecting Medicaid access starts with identifying coverage risks before paperwork problems interrupt care. In this episode, Asya Rudikoff, Co-Founder and CEO of AccessIQ, discusses how her experience as a physical therapist and home healthcare leader exposed the consequences of preventable Medicaid disenrollment. She explains how procedural issues, including missed forms, outdated contact information, and complicated renewal processes, can cause eligible patients to lose coverage. Asya also explores how these disruptions affect families, provider revenue, hospitals, health plans, and state healthcare spending. She shares how AccessIQ uses coverage signals to identify at-risk patients, help organizations prioritize outreach, and shift Medicaid coverage management from reactive problem-solving to proactive prevention. Tune in and learn how actionable data can help protect Medicaid coverage, preserve access to care, and support healthcare organizations. Resources Connect with Asya Rudikoff on LinkedIn.
