Medicaid customers have not had to renew their Medicaid coverage since the Covid-19 pandemic began. Medicaid pays for healthcare, like doctor visits, prescription medicine, and urgent emergency services.
Now Illinois is starting renewals again to see if people are still eligible. Everybody’s renewal date is different, so it is critical that you get ready to renew.
Don’t risk losing your Medicaid Coverage! Here is what you need to do:
Click Manage My Case at abe.illinois.gov to:
- Verify your mailing address under “contact us.”
- Find your due date (also called redetermination date) in your “benefit details.”
Watch your mail and complete your renewal right away.
You can also update your mailing address and find your Medicaid redetermination date by calling 1-800-843-6154.
If you are no longer eligible for Medicaid, connect to coverage at work or through the official Affordable Care Act marketplace for Illinois, GetCoveredIllinois.gov.
