Maryland Medicaid Renewal is NOT automatic this year​

During the COVID-19 public health emergency, Marylanders who were enrolled in Medicaid continued to be covered, even if they were no longer eligible.

Medicaid renewals will not be automatic this year. Starting in April 2023, Maryland began making Medicaid eligibility reviews again. Not everyone will be up for renewal at the same time. These renewals will take place over 12 months​.

It is very important that we encourage Medicaid participants to make sure their contact information is up to date. We will motivate them to act when it’s their turn to renew so they can receive and respond to important messages about their health insurance.

You’ll have 45 days to respond, so don’t wait!

• Children under age 19, who are not eligible for Medicaid, and whose countable income is at or below 200% of the federal poverty level (FPL);
• Pregnant women of any age, whose countable income is at or below 250% FPL;
• Uninsured (NOTE: In some instances, having health insurance will not prevent eligibility for MCHP. Even if you have health insurance, it’s best to apply and let the case manager assigned to your application determine whether your health insurance will affect your eligibility for MCHP.)
