What is redetermination?
Medicaid Redetermination (sometimes referred to as “recertification” or “renewal”) is the process through which Medicaid members report their household income to the Department of Health and Human Services for their state on an established cadence to redetermine their eligibility. Each state is required to review eligibility criteria for all Medicaid members on an ongoing basis. This process was put on hold during the COVID pandemic, but will be resuming soon.
Who is affected by redetermination?
Anyone who is currently enrolled in Medicaid will go through the redetermination process.
What should I do first about redetermination?
Reach out to your state’s Department of Health and Human Services to verify your address, phone number, and email on file are correct to ensure you receive the redetermination notice. See the top of the page for a link to your state’s Medicaid website, as well as a phone number you can call if you have more questions about the process in your state.
Show moreWhen will I go through the redetermination process?
Each state has their own timeline to complete redeterminations. States could take anywhere from 1-14 months to address all redeterminations. By keeping your contact information on file with the state updated, you ensure they’ll be able to reach you when it’s time for your eligibility to be reviewed.
Why is redetermination important?
Accurate and prompt response to requests from the state for redetermination information will ensure that you maintain Medicaid coverage if you are eligible – and can help connect you to other coverage if you are no longer eligible for Medicaid.
What does the process for redetermination look like?
The process varies by state, but you should contact your state’s Department of Health and Human Services for more specifics. See below for a link to your state’s Medicaid website, as well as a phone number you can call if you have more questions about the process in your state.
I have never heard of “redetermination”, how do I know if it applies to my state?
You may also hear this process referred to as “recertification”, “renewal”, or similar terms. But the process of re-evaluating eligibility occurs on a regular basis in all states.
Will I lose my Medicaid coverage through the redetermination process?
Not necessarily. Going through the process allows you to remain covered by Medicaid if you are still eligible.
What do I do if I do not hear from my state about my Medicaid coverage?
Reach out to your state’s Department of Health and Human Services to ensure they have your most current contact information.
What do I do if I lose coverage?
If you lose Medicaid coverage and don’t have a reasonable employer-provided option available, you may be eligible for subsidized Marketplace coverage. Depending on your income, you may even qualify for a zero-premium plan and / or cost-sharing subsidies. To learn more, visit the Marketplace Page.
