Important Changes and Deadlines for Health Insurance Coverage Starting in ဇွန်လ 2023
For New York Medicaid, Child Health Plus, and Essential Plan Members
Do you or a family member have health insurance through New York State (NYS) Medicaid, Child Health Plus, or the Essential Plan? If so, New York State will begin requiring eligibility reviews and renewals for people enrolled in these programs starting in ဇွန်လ 2023.
This means you may need to take action to renew your health insurance or the health insurance of your family member to not lose this coverage.
What can you do to know when you or a family member must complete required eligibility reviews and renewals to keep your health insurance?

If you or a family member are enrolled in Medicaid through your county’s Medicaid Office or through New York City’s Human Resource Administration, contact that office to update your address and contact information.
3. Contact your Care Coordinator if you have questions.
