Do I have to renew Medicaid coverage every year?

Yes. States must redetermine Medicaid eligibility for most enrollees every 12 months. When your coverage period is ending, you will receive a notice from the state. If your coverage has been automatically renewed, the notice will indicate the new coverage period. If your coverage has not been automatically renewed, the notice will include instructions for completing the renewal process. Note that the renewal process might look different depending on where you live.
