Help patients avoid a gap in coverage due to Medicaid redetermination

During the COVID-19 public health emergency, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act mandated that Medicaid programs maintain continuous enrollment for individuals. Now that the public health emergency has ended, all Medicaid and Healthy Michigan Plan members must go through a Medicaid redetermination process.

This process began in June 2023 and will run through May 2024. Monthly renewal notices are sent three months before a member’s renewal date.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Blue Care Network and our Medicaid health plan, Blue Cross Complete, encourage you to help your patients with Medicaid and Healthy Michigan Plan coverage understand the Medicaid redetermination process. This process verifies whether members still qualify for coverage. Those who no longer meet the eligibility criteria can be disenrolled.

Blue Cross wants to help your patients understand the process and learn about various options that may be available if they lose eligibility.
