Medicaid Renewals
Are you currently enrolled in Medicaid? Starting April 1st, 2023, Nebraska Medicaid will resume normal operations and “unwind” the continuous coverage requirement that was in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nebraska Medicaid will begin by trying to automatically renew a member’s coverage. If it is known a member has not moved and has not had a change in income, Nebraska Medicaid can automatically renew.
- If an automatic renewal cannot be completed, Nebraska Medicaid will mail a printed renewal form to the member. These forms are mailed between 30 to 60 days before the member’s renewal must be completed.
- If a member doesn’t respond to the renewal request, they can lose their coverage for failing to provide information.
- If a member is no longer eligible for Medicaid, they will be sent a notice from Nebraska Medicaid. Their information may also be sent to the Health Insurance Marketplace.
