Medicaid Renewals

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has provided guidance that State Medicaid agencies resume redetermination activities between February 1 and April 1, 2023.

It is imperative that we help our Medicaid members renew their Medicaid benefits so they don’t lose their health coverage and continue to receive uninterrupted care.

Below is a list of frequently asked questions and other valuable resources to help educate your patients on the importance of updating their contact information and annually renewing their Medicaid coverage. 

Q: When will the normal Medicaid enrollment and renewal process resume?

A: State Medicaid agencies resumed redetermination activities between February 1 and April 1, 2023. Florida won’t take any adverse action to cancel or reduce coverage for individuals without completing a full benefit renewal. Non-response will lead to losing benefits.     

Q: What can individuals do now to prepare?

A: First and foremost, all Medicaid recipients should make sure their contact information, including their mailing address and phone number(s) are up to date with their state to ensure they receive important notices about the renewal process.

Learn how our members can update their contact information or to learn more about the renewal process at MolinaHealthcare.com/updatemyinfo/FL.

Ask our members, your patients, to make sure they keep an eye out for information and notices about their coverage and respond quickly to any instructions they receive. 

Q: What happens if an individual is no longer eligible for Medicaid and loses coverage?

A: If an individual no longer qualifies for Medicaid coverage through Florida Medicaid, they will get:

  • A notice in the mail with the date their Medicaid coverage will end
  • Information on how to file an appeal, if they think the decision to cancel their coverage was incorrect
  • Note if an individual loses coverage for being non-responsive they will have 90 days from the end of their coverage to complete the redetermination process.

Q: What are some other choices for health coverage if an individual no longer qualifies for Medicaid?

A: Individuals should contact their state Medicaid agency to see what other options are available.
