Could you check the original Colorado source? I suspect KFF may have misinterpreted whether some states include the 5% disregard, given how many have changes of 0.05 here.
See note 1 from the 2022 report:
January 2022 income limits reflect Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI)-converted income
standards and include a disregard equal to five percentage points of the federal poverty level (FPL).
And this note from the 2023 table:
January 2023 income limits reflect Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI)-converted income standards and include a disregard equal to five percentage points of the federal poverty level (FPL).

According to https://hcpf.colorado.gov/sites/hcpf/files/April%202024%20Medicaid%20Income%20Chart.pdf, it is actually 195% for pregnant women. But would this still be 200% then?
For Kentucky here https://www.chfs.ky.gov/agencies/dcbs/dfs/Documents/OMVOLIVB.pdf#page=11 they distinguish between FPL vs. FPL with 5%.

Yes, I think 195% is the MAGI limit, where MAGI includes the 5% disregard as specified in https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/42/1396a#e_14_I_i. The Colorado regs also indicate this.
As an example, C.R.S. 25.5-8-103 defines the income limit for pregnant women with children at 260%, which would be 265% after the disregard. I couldn't immediately find the statutory backing for 195% for pregnant women without children. Ideally we'd cite the legal code for all such numbers rather than the KFF source, but for now let's just double-check the ones KFF thinks changed by 5%.

Ok, double checked it and fixed a few states according to their individual rules which are different from KFF

CO, NJ, and VA, is that right?
