Annual Renewal of Public Health Insurance

|
Child Health Plus, Medicaid and Family Health Plus
Annual renewal/recertification of health insurance coverage is required for all public health insurance programs. New York State's Medicaid Program has established a mail-in renewal system to ensure that individuals maintain their coverage. Children enrolled in Child Health Plus will receive a renewal package from their health plan 90 days prior to coverage expiration date. Individuals enrolled in Medicaid, both children and adults, or Family Health Plus will receive a renewal package from HRA 90 days prior to coverage expiration date. An in-person interview is no longer required for renewal of coverage. You only have to complete and return the renewal forms, which contain a pre-printed form with the insured's household information.

How Can You Find Help with Completing Mail-in Renewal Materials?
Contact information for health insurance enrollment counselors and the HRA Medicaid helpline are included in the renewal package. Enrollment counselors can help the insured complete and send in renewal/recertification materials by due date. You can also receive assistance by contacting the HRA Medicaid helpline through 311. Through the helpline, you can obtain answers to questions regarding the renewal process in five languages, English, Haitian-Creole, Chinese, Russian and Spanish. Counselors are available Monday-Friday, 8AM-5PM to assist callers. A duplicate renewal/recertification package can also be requested through the helpline.
You can drop-off renewal materials and seek help with completing renewal material at the HRA Medicaid Renewal Site: - Manhattan: 340A West 34th Street, between 8th and 9th Avenues, 1st floor
