Coalition for Health AI releases Medicaid eligibility guides co-chaired by NACHC
Issue
The Coalition for Health AI (CHAI) released two guides on May 11, 2026 about using AI responsibly in Medicaid enrollment and eligibility. NACHC co-chaired the work, and the guides came out ahead of the June 1, 2026 HHS guidance deadline.
They give states and providers guardrails so AI tools don't wrongly cut coverage during H.R. 1 redeterminations.
