An unknown number of mothers in Florida have abruptly lost Medicaid coverage after giving birth, despite being eligible, according to an ongoing federal lawsuit filed against the state in August 2023. The issue is linked to the state’s computer eligibility system, run by Deloitte Consulting, according to trial testimony from state and Deloitte employees. It is yet one more example of problems states and beneficiaries have encountered with Medicaid management systems operated by Deloitte, a giant consulting firm.

As of July, Florida had awarded the global firm contracts valued at more than $100 million to modernize, operate, and maintain the state’s integrated eligibility system for Medicaid and other benefits.
