Medicaid Shield™: Ensuring Continuity of Care & Compliance After the One Big Beautiful Bill
Executive Summary
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (BBB), signed into law in July 2025, rewrites large portions of the Medicaid statute. It slashes $1 trillion from federal Medicaid spending over ten years, imposes six‑month recertification and work‑reporting rules, and introduces steep fiscal penalties for documentation errors.[1][2] These shifts place Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) providers at acute risk of coverage lapses, audits, and civil fines.
Medicaid Shield™ is BridgePoint Advocacy’s eight‑module, micro‑learning curriculum that equips front‑line staff and administrators to stay audit‑ready, prevent coverage gaps, and safeguard medically frail adults in 24‑hour homes.
