IMPORTANT: Look for your child’s Medicaid or CHIP renewal in the mail, complete it and mail it back immediately. They may be covered even if you’re not! Go to Medicaid.gov/renewals to find contact information for your state Medicaid office.

Back-to-School Planning: Enrollment, Retention, Vaccines, and Mental Health Services

The Back-to-School season is an opportune time to help connect families to health coverage through Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) and encourage the use of important covered services, such as immunizations and well child visits. It’s also an important time to remind people who have Medicaid or CHIP about the need to renew their coverage as states have restarted eligibility reviews and can disenroll people now that the continuous coverage requirement has expired.
