The definitive guide to re-enrolling inactive Medicaid members.

In December of 2022, the federal government passed a spending bill that permits states to begin Medicaid redetermination on April 1, 2023,¹  regardless of the PHE end date.²  The process, which Congress had suspended for three years during the Covid-19 pandemic, restarted in April of this year. With nearly 5.2 million people being disenrolled across the country since spring,³ health plans could lose billions of dollars in reimbursements if they do not act quickly— that’s where we can help.             

As a proud strategic partner for health plans, we’re committed to helping you engage with members during eligibility redetermination and throughout the year. To get you started, we are offering a guide on the 11 things health plans can do to encourage Medicaid re-enrollment. Fill out the form to reveal useful advice on how to get members to enroll in (or renew) their Medicaid coverage. A WebMD Ignite representative will contact you for any follow-up questions you may have.              

We are uniquely positioned to help health plans:

• Engage non-responsive members to renew their coverage
• Predict members that are newly eligible for Medicaid and encourage enrollment
• Target members about the need to complete their annual renew
