(Recorded Webinar) OBBBA Implementation and Its Impact on Medicaid: What Health Centers Should Know

Duration: 60 minutes 
Recorded on: 03/26/2026

The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (“OBBBA” or “H.R. 1”) has already imposed, and will continue to impose, a number of changes to the Medicaid program, with many of the changes targeting the Medicaid expansion population in particular. State Medicaid agencies are already in the process of devoting significant time and effort in assessing the impact of OBBBA’s changes and determining how coverage under Medicaid will change. 

A number of State Medicaid agencies and health care analysts are projecting Medicaid coverage losses due to changes relating to work/community engagement requirements, more frequent eligibility redeterminations, retroactive coverage limits, and changes with respect to the coverage of immigrants. Other changes limit how State Medicaid agencies can fund their programs through state directed payment and provider taxes. State Medicaid agencies will need to make difficult choices. At the same time, the OBBBA created the $50 billion Rural Health Transformation grant program that CMS has already begun to implement.

This webinar will cover:

  • What will OBBBA mean for health centers that are required as a condition of their Public Health Service Act funding to serve Medicaid-covered individuals?
  • Should health centers expect an increase in their uninsured populations?
  • And what, if anything, can a health center do to try to prepare for these changes? 

Target Audience

  • Health center C-Suite (CEO, COO, CFO) 
  • Individuals with revenue cycle type responsibilities
  • Primary care association leadership and policy personnel

Learning Objectives

After this webinar, you will be able to:

  1. Describe key OBBBA provisions related to the Medicaid program
  2. Anticipate consequences of the OBBBA relevant to health centers
  3. Prepare action items to respond to OBBBA’s potential effects
