Let's find out why you lost coverage

During the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency, all Medicaid and CHIP members were able to stay enrolled, regardless of changes in eligibility. Now that the emergency has ended and renewals have resumed, you may have lost coverage for a variety of reasons.

 

Look at the questions below to see why you may have lost your coverage and what to do next. 

You have to renew your Medicaid or CHIP benefits every year to keep them. Missing your renewal deadline, incomplete paperwork, or forgetting a step in the renewal process puts you at risk of losing coverage. 
 

Did you complete your renewal, but still lost your coverage?

Check your renewal status: Contact your state Medicaid agency to see if your renewal has been processed and to make sure you didn’t miss anything.

 

Did you have other issues with your renewal?

You can reapply or contact your state agency for more help.

If the state doesn’t have your updated address on file, you may have missed some important notices, such as renewal reminders and other benefit information. 
 

Update your address 

Your maternity plan may have ended. Medicaid maternity plans cover you throughout your pregnancy and 12 months after you give birth. You’ll get a notification from the state letting you know if you’re eligible for a Medicaid plan just for parents or if they need more information from you. You may need to complete a new application if the state can’t verify your eligibility.

Some Medicaid and CHIP plans only cover you until age 18. Luckily, we offer Medicaid for adults with the same great benefits and providers, plus more to help protect your health — all at no cost.

Your Medicaid or CHIP eligibility is based in part on your income. You may no longer qualify if you:

  • Started a new job.
  • Got a raise.
  • Worked more hours.
  • Took on additional work or started your own business.

 

Check your eligibility

Getting married, moving to a new state, or a new living situation could all impact your eligibility. 

 

Check your eligibility

Some plans have monthly premium payments or copays for certain services. During the PHE, all payments were paused but have now restarted. You may have lost coverage if you missed making payments. Log in to your online benefits account to review and make payments.
