Parallel structural mechanism in telehealth: 46 state Medicaid programs now reimburse audio-only telehealth and 37 states allow FQHCs as distant-site providers, but Medicaid-accepting facilities are 25 percent less likely to offer telehealth services. Policy enables the intervention (telehealth coverage, Z-code documentation) but operational infrastructure is absent—provider participation doesn't follow policy mandates without addressing underlying structural barriers.

Even if SDOH infrastructure existed, OBBBA eliminates Medicaid coverage for 11.8M people by 2034, removing the payer relationship and patient population needed to deliver SDOH interventions. The adoption barrier is not just operational infrastructure but structural coverage elimination.

# Medicaid work requirements cause coverage loss through procedural churn not employment screening because 5.3 million projected uninsured exceeds the population of able-bodied unemployed adults
|
||||
|
||||
The CBO projects 5.3 million Americans will lose Medicaid coverage by 2034 due to work requirements — the single largest driver among all OBBBA provisions. This number is structurally revealing: it exceeds the population of able-bodied unemployed Medicaid adults, meaning the coverage loss cannot be primarily from screening out the unemployed. Instead, the mechanism is procedural churn: monthly reporting requirements (80 hrs/month documentation) create administrative barriers that cause eligible working adults to lose coverage through paperwork failures, not employment status. This is confirmed by the timeline: 1.3M uninsured in 2026 → 5.2M in 2027 shows rapid escalation inconsistent with gradual employment screening but consistent with cumulative procedural attrition. The work requirement functions as a coverage reduction mechanism disguised as an employment incentive.

## Supporting Evidence
|
||||
|
||||
**Source:** CBO analysis of One Big Beautiful Bill Act, CBPP Medicaid work requirement projections
|
||||
|
||||
CBO estimates 5.2M Medicaid coverage loss from OBBBA work requirements by 2034, with CBPP projecting 9.9-14.9M at risk. Prior state work requirement experiments showed enrollees taking on more medical debt and delaying care rather than gaining employment, confirming the procedural churning mechanism.

**Source:** Omada Health Q1 2026 earnings (May 7, 2026)
|
||||
|
||||
Omada's employer-contracted model represents a distinct VBC payment structure: employers pay per enrolled member (capitation-like), creating direct financial incentive for outcome improvement without traditional fee-for-service intermediation. The 51% membership growth with 42% revenue growth suggests employers are expanding contracts based on demonstrated value, indicating that employer-direct VBC channels may bypass the traditional payer risk-bearing bottleneck.

## Challenging Evidence

||||
|
||||
**Source:** CBO estimates of OBBBA Medicaid provisions, KFF analysis
|
||||
|
||||
OBBBA eliminates 11.8M Medicaid enrollees by 2034, shrinking the addressable population for VBC contracts and destroying enrollment stability needed for prevention ROI. The transition doesn't just stall at the payment boundary—the patient population itself is being systematically eliminated.
