Medicaid and Medicare Data Shared with Immigration Authorities

Aug 6, 2025 | Newsroom | 0 comments

The National Bleeding Disorders Foundation (NBDF) and the Hemophilia Federation Alliance (HFA) are raising alarms after the U.S Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) disclosed personal Medicaid data, including names, addresses, and health claims to immigration authorities for deportation purposes. This unprecedented move could discourage vulnerable patients, including those with bleeding disorders, from seeking care out of fear. Twenty states have filed lawsuits, citing serious privacy violations.
