Why has Medicaid eligibility changed?
In 2020, the Federal government paused its annual renewal process for Medicaid to help people avoid losing their health insurance during the pandemic. However, legislation signed on December 29, 2022, allows states to begin their renewal process again starting February 1, 2023.
Watch for a Medicaid renewal letter from your state.
You may have already received it. If you haven’t, report any changes in your address or email to your state Medicaid office.

If your renewal letter comes with a renewal form, fill it out and submit it.
If your letter has a renewal form, you will need to submit it to find out if you still qualify for Medicaid. The form will have instructions about how to submit it. Don’t wait to do this. If you don’t submit the form, you could lose your health insurance.
No longer qualify for Medicaid?
PacificSource offers health plans that go beyond what’s required with human service, no cost-prescription drugs, and support for members who are struggling.
If you or a family member are no longer eligible for Medicaid, you’re probably concerned about cost. The good news is that federal subsidies (discounts) can help you pay for health insurance if you qualify.
If you are working, you may be able to get health insurance through your job. You typically have 60 days from the date you lose your Medicaid insurance to enroll in a health plan through your work. Ask your employer what your options are.
If you’re already a PacificSource Medicaid member, you can expect the same human service you’re already receiving. If not, consider a PacificSource plan. We offer:
Premiums as low as $0 if you qualify for a subsidy
$0 copays or deductibles on select prescriptions
$0 copays on preventive care
Local human service—not automated phone trees or offshore call centers
Support for members in need from a personal support specialist
Access to excellent local providers
Shop for health insurance and see if you qualify for a federal subsidy.
When losing Medicaid eligibility, your time to enroll in new health insurance is limited, based on the rules of your state.
