The Iowa Department of Public Health is working with Women, Infant and Children (WIC) clinics and the hawk-i outreach program to enroll children and teens into Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program. Through the use of presumptive eligibility, families are able to get health coverage for their children without delay.
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! Every child currently covered by Medicaid or CHIP will need to go through a renewal process within the next several months. Keep your child covered and healthy. Complete the renewal as soon as you get it in the mail! Go to Medicaid.gov/renewals to find contact information for your state Medicaid office.
