Losing Medicaid Coverage?
Virginia is currently reviewing members’ Medicaid health coverage to make sure they still qualify. If you no longer qualify for Medicaid health coverage, you will be notified. To make sure you receive all notices, members need to provide up-to-date mailing addresses and phone numbers. Members can make updates:
- Online at commonhelp.virginia.gov, or
- By calling Cover Virginia at 1-855-242-8282,
- By calling their local Department of Social Services,
- By contacting their Medicaid Managed Care Organization (MCO, or "health plan")
Virginians who do not qualify for health coverage through Medicaid may be able to get financial help to lower the cost of private health insurance and sign up for coverage through a Special Enrollment Period (SEP) on marketplace.virginia.gov. The SEP is available until July 31, 2024. Consumers will have 60 days to enroll from the time they complete their application.
Did you know... nearly 9 out of 10 consumers will be able to find health care coverage for $10 or less per month after subsidies? You can compare plans and pricing and find out how much financial help you may qualify to receive at Virginia's Insurance Marketplace.
