Renewal of Medical Assistance

Changes are coming to Maryland Medicaid - this year, renewals won't be automatic. Individuals on Medicaid may no longer be able to continue receiving benefits if they have not completed their renewal. Here's what you can do now to prepare:

1. Update your contact information to make sure your current address, phone number, and email are on file so you'll get notices about changes to your coverage. 
2. Open your mail and read any letters you get from the Howard County Health Department or Maryland Health Connection to find out how changes will affect you.
3. Take action to ensure you don't miss key deadlines. The letters will tell you what you need to do to get continued benefits.
