Wisconsin tests whether navigator outreach boosts medicaid renewal
NCT ID NCT05433454
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether offering personalized help from navigators—professionals who assist with Medicaid renewal—can increase the number of people who keep their coverage. Over 119,000 Wisconsin residents on fee-for-service Medicaid are included. The researchers randomly assign different types of outreach to see what works best.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that simple outreach from navigators helps people keep their health insurance, potentially reducing coverage loss.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. Results may not apply to other states or populations, and the intervention is just assistance with paperwork.
