Don’t Risk Losing Your Medicaid Coverage

The COVID-19 Public Health Emergency has ended in the State of Michigan.

If you currently have Medicaid insurance, you have until June 30, 2024 to re-enroll without losing your insurance coverage.

Follow these three steps to ensure you do not lose your Medicaid health insurance:

    1. Update your contact information. Visit newmibridges.michigan.gov or call (855) 276-4627.
    2. Check your mail for a letter from the State of Michigan. The State of Michigan has mailed a letter to you about Medicaid coverage. This letter will let you know if you need to fill out a renewal form.
    3. Complete your renewal form. If a renewal form is needed, fill out the form and return it to the State of Michigan right away so you do not lose Medicaid insurance.
