COVID-19 Information for Recipients

 The Alabama Medicaid Agency (Medicaid) made important changes during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE) to better serve recipients and to assist providers in our state. It is important to know when the PHE ends, you must renew your benefits.

Get Ready: Update Your Address and other information with Medicaid

  Updating your contact information (name, address, phone number and email address) will help recipients stay informed and receive the latest information and updates from Alabama Medicaid.

 Help spread the word to family, friends, coworkers, neighbors, and anyone else so they may be informed about upcoming changes.
