Renewal forms must be returned when your renewal time comes. During COVID, you didn’t have to renew to keep your Medicaid. But that changed after April 1, 2023, and now recipients have to renew again.
You will get your renewal letter in the mail at your normal renewal time. That is usually one year from the date you signed up for Medicaid. If you don’t remember this date, you can contact the ACHN in your region, your local District Office, or you can call the Recipient Call Center (toll-free) (800) 362-1504, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.
Important information about your Medicaid:
- Medicaid will mail you a letter to let you know it’s time to renew.
- You must fill out and return your form to Medicaid.
- Medicaid coverage will stop if you are not eligible or don’t respond.
You must renew your Medicaid every year. You will lose your Medicaid if you do not renew.
