Medicaid Redetermination – Renewing Your Medicaid Information

Take Action Now: Medicaid Redetermination Could Affect Your Coverage

In the event that Medicaid is unable to contact you due to outdated contact information, it could result in a loss of coverage which means they will not cover healthcare services or medication cost at the pharmacy. Thus, it is crucial that you ensure your information is accurate and up to date by contacting Medicaid directly. Taking this step will help to avoid any potential issues with your coverage and ensure that you continue to receive the healthcare benefits you need.
