How To Get Back On Medicaid
The 400,000 Texans who just lost Medicaid through procedural denials in June may still be eligible for the program. To make it seamless for eligible people to get back into the Medicaid program, we recommend that HHSC quickly upgrade YourTexasBenefits.com to facilitate online renewal and verification during their 90-day reconsideration period without needing to re-apply. Texans who successfully complete renewal during their 90-day reconsideration period should have coverage reinstated back to their recent termination date. These two steps will help eligible Texans remain covered and support the health care delivery system.
Texans with Medicaid should keep an eye out for a yellow notice in the mail with the words “action required” written in red and respond to requests for information right away. If you missed a deadline or lost your Medicaid, you still have options to re-enroll. You don’t have to go through this alone—local help is available. If you’re confused or unsure about a notice or need help accessing your account, you can find local help near you through the Texas Community Partner Program (https://www.texascommunitypartnerprogram.com/ ).
