In an effort to ensure Medicaid eligibility for Michigan residents who are required to complete renewal forms by the end of June, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) has announced new measures.
Medicaid beneficiaries who received renewal packets with a June 30th, deadline are urged to complete and submit their forms by that date to avoid coverage loss, MDHHS will not disqualify individuals for not returning the paperwork until the end of July. This extension aligns with the updated guidance from the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
MDHHS will solely implement this change for beneficiaries with renewals due in June. During this additional time, the department will review and adopt further strategies authorized by the federal government to conduct outreach, ensuring that Medicaid coverage is preserved for eligible individuals.
Medicaid enrollees are advised to check their renewal month at: michigan.gov/MIBridges.
