Let’s find out why you may lose coverage

During the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency, all Medicaid members were able to stay enrolled, regardless of changes in eligibility or status. Now that renewals have resumed, you may have to take action to keep your coverage.

Maternity plans

Medicaid maternity plans cover you throughout your pregnancy and 12 months after you give birth. Luckily, you can reapply for Medicaid for parents and keep many of the same providers and benefits you’re used to.

Apply for Medicaid or CHIP

You may still be eligible even though your maternity benefits are ending. The only way to know for sure is to reapply. Follow these steps:

1 | Log in or register

Go to your state agency website. Log in or register your secure online account.

2 | Apply

Fill out the application or update missing or incorrect information in your account.

3 | Get notified

You’ll receive a notice from the state to let you know if you’re re-enrolled.

Remember to apply before your maternity benefits expire so you don’t have a gap in coverage. If you still qualify, you’ll come back to your previous health plan. All set.

¹Based on federal and/or state exchange requirements and subject to change. Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield is a Qualified Health Plan issuer that in certain geographic areas offers some health plans with a $0 premium option (after subsidy applied) through the Health Insurance Marketplace or your State Exchange. Anthem health plans with a $0 premium option are not available in all areas and eligibility for these plans is based on federal annual income guidelines. Call us for information because not everyone will qualify. For example, singles earning up to $19,140, and couples earning up to $25,860 may be eligible. Family income eligibility varies based on number of family members.

²Nationally recommended preventive care services received in-network have no copay and no deductible requirement.

³Virtual care visits, including medical chats and video visits using the Sydney Health app, are at no cost to members for most plans. Those enrolled in High-Deductible Health Plans associated with a Health Savings Account and Catastrophic plans must first meet their deductible. Virtual care visits refer to medical chats and/or video consultation, as deemed appropriate by a licensed physician. Sydney Health is offered through an arrangement with Carelon Digital Platforms, a separate company offering mobile application services on behalf of the health plan. ©2020-2022
