MEDICAID REDETERMINATION FOR PUBLIC SECTOR

Redetermine every member accurately, on time

Ushur AI Agents close the gap ex parte cannot.

The 2027 problem: twice-yearly renewals, the same runway

Beginning in 2027, Medicaid expansion adults must move to six-month eligibility redeterminations. How does a program double its volume of verifications, outbound mail and return notices, document reviews, and caseworker follow-up — with the same staff and the same eligibility system?

The eligibility system itself is rarely the fastest and typically the most expensive and slowest approach to absorb that change. Core Medicaid eligibility platforms are vendor-built, deeply customized, and on multi-year change-request cycles — the opposite of what a January 2027 deadline needs.

The other cost states are already managing: returned mail

State Medicaid agencies estimate that roughly 15% of outbound letters are returned, at a cost of about $25 per returned piece — volume that has to be manually scanned, indexed, and chased down by staff who could be focused on higher-value work.

Ushur reduces that burden by shifting critical communications from physical mail to AI-powered digital engagement — validating and updating contact information in every interaction, reaching members first by SMS, email, voice, and digital channels, and automatically following up when a message goes unread.

A communication layer, not a system replacement

Ushur integrates with your existing eligibility system, connecting through its existing interfaces to verify data, generate notices, guide members through renewals, answer questions, automatically update their record, and upload required documentation — verifying data in real time to ensure accuracy at each step.

AI Agents make those interactions conversational and easier to complete across voice and digital channels. Members can speak naturally with an AI Agent while using a synchronized mobile screen for precise tasks such as confirming information, making selections, completing forms, and uploading documents — without switching channels or losing context.

FAQs

Common Questions. Answered

Is Ushur replacing our eligibility system or our call center?

No. Ushur sits in front of both. Eligibility determinations continue to be made in your system of record — what changes is everything that happens before that point: reaching the member, explaining what's needed, and collecting complete information on time. Routine renewals are handled end to end without a live agent, and when a case genuinely needs a person, it transfers with full context so the member isn't asked to start over.

Most of our coverage losses are procedural, not eligibility-based. Does this actually change that?

That's the specific problem it addresses. Procedural terminations happen because a member never received the notice, couldn't understand it, or couldn't complete it — not because they stopped qualifying. Outreach runs across voice, SMS, email, and web, so a member who ignores a letter may still answer a text, and one who picks up a call can be sent a secure link to finish visually while still on the phone. Follow-up is automatic when something is incomplete, rather than waiting for the member to initiate it.

How does this connect to our existing systems?

Through APIs and secure file exchange with the eligibility system, MMIS, CRM, and document-management platforms already in place. Verified information flows back into the system of record rather than accumulating in a separate silo, and case status can be written back so staff and members are looking at the same current picture.

When policy or deadlines shift mid-cycle, who makes the change?

Your program team. Message copy, question sequences, outreach timing, escalation rules, and channel logic are all configured without code and without a place in an IT release queue. The practical difference is whether a change driven by a policy update is live in days or waits on a development cycle that outlasts the deadline it was meant to meet.

How are language access and accessibility handled?

Members are served in their preferred language and can switch mid-conversation without restarting — language shouldn't cost someone a second attempt. Content is written at a plain-language reading level, and the web experiences are built to meet accessibility requirements, including screen-reader support and keyboard navigation, so a member using assistive technology completes the same renewal as anyone else.

How is member information protected?

PHI is encrypted in transit and at rest, with role-based access, configurable guardrails enforced as agents operate, and a complete record of every interaction. Identity is verified before any case-specific detail is shared, and sensitive exchanges move to a secure channel rather than staying in plain SMS or email.

Let's talk about your vision for improving Medicaid renewal outcomes.
