Online resources can help providers with outreach about issues such as renewal Health facilities that accept Medicaid are encouraged to help Medicaid patients/clients/residents keep their insurance by sending messages to them about important issues such as renewal letters.
Individuals or families that currently have health insurance through Nevada Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) need to be on the lookout for a renewal letter in the mail from the Division of Welfare and Supportive Services. To ensure they receive this critical piece of mail, these individuals must make sure their address, email and phone number are up to date with the Division of Welfare and Supportive Services. Members can use the UpdateMyAddress website and here is a flyer facilities can post about all the ways members can update their address. The renewal letter may request more information to determine if the individual or their family member(s) still qualify for Medicaid or CHIP. If so, a renewal form will be included. For more information, visit the Medicaid Member’s website. Additional messages and materials for providers are available in the toolkit linked here to help with ongoing outreach efforts. Members can also be directed to these resources:
