• There are some significant changes to Medicaid coverage that begin March 31 – we want to be sure you’re aware. Attached is an English/Spanish flier with key messages for families. Please share widely with your client families and among your network!

    In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal government declared a public health emergency on Jan. 27, 2020. This allowed families to keep their Medicaid coverage in Texas without having to reapply for benefits. With the recent passage of a new federal law, this continuous coverage will end March 31, 2023.

    Beginning April 1, 2023, all Medicaid members will need to have their Medicaid eligibility redetermined. Medicaid members should look out for renewal notices mailed in a yellow envelope that says “Action Required” in red or sent electronically to members signed up for electronic notices.

    This change could impact more than 2 million children in Texas – it is important for families to stay up to date with the changes so they don’t lose their Medicaid coverage. It also has potential to impact health care organizations (serving families with no insurance) and the State (backlog of applications).
