MEDICAID NEWS

Automatic Medicaid Re-Enrollment Ends April 1st

On April 1st, 2023, the federal Medicaid program began the discontinuance (ie, unwinding) of the COVID-19 era automatic re-enrollment, meaning you may need to take action to keep your North Carolina Medicaid coverage. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, North Carolina has not disenrolled most Medicaid members, regardless of eligibility. For some, this comes to an end beginning on April 1st.

North Carolina has opted to complete the recertification process over 12 months as beneficiaries are up for renewal, and is trying to prepare Medicaid participants for any action required on their part, and for the potential of losing Medicaid coverage. Beneficiaries should make sure their local DSS has their up-to-date information, including current mailing address, phone number and email, and are encouraged to sign up for an enhanced ePASS account to manage their contact information. Members who no longer qualify for Medicaid in North Carolina will be referred to the Healthcare Marketplace for coverage options.

Renewal is typically based on when you first enrolled, however that can change under certain circumstances so be sure to visit the NC Medicaid Beneficiary Portal to check your renewal status.


What You Need to do to Prepare

  • Make sure your local DSS has your current mailing address, phone number, email and other contact information with your ePASS account or visiting your local DSS.
  • Check your mail - local DSS will mail beneficiaries a letter if they need to complete a renewal or see if they still qualify for coverage.
  • Complete your renewal form - fill out and complete a renewal for or request for information and return it to your local DSS right away to avoid a gap in your Medicaid coverage.
