Nevada Medicaid encourages members to take action now to avoid any interruptions in coverage.
Update your contact information. Make sure Nevada Medicaid has your current mailing address, phone number, and email address. Keeping your information up to date ensures you receive important notices about your eligibility and renewal requirements.
Check whether the new requirements apply to you. Review the list of exemptions and eligibility guidelines to determine whether you will be affected by the new rules.
Learn what will be required. If the new requirements apply to you, take time now to understand what documentation or information may be needed to verify work, volunteer, or school participation.
Know your renewal date. Do not wait until your Medicaid renewal date arrives. If you are required to meet the new participation standards, you will need to demonstrate compliance during your renewal review period.
If you have questions about your Medicaid eligibility or how the new requirements may affect your coverage, contact Nevada Medicaid or the Division of Welfare and Supportive Services for assistance.
