Attention Medicaid Members! Don't risk losing your health coverage.
As of April 2023, Medicaid will start sending out renewal packets. You are required to complete this information to renew your current Medicaid eligibility or transition to other coverage if you are no longer eligible for Medicaid.
Make sure your address and email are up to date and current with your County Department of Jobs and Family Services (CDJFS). Renewal Packets going to the wrong address will result in the termination of Medicaid coverage. Here are ways to update your contact information:
Call 1-844-640-6446 Monday through Friday 8 am to 4pm.
Access your existing Ohio Benefits Self-Service Portal at benefits.ohio.gov, click on "Access my Benefits", then click "Report a Change to my Case" and follow the prompts.
Contact your CDJFS at Medicaid.ohio.gov/dropdown, then select your county from the dropdown for contact information.
Check your mail and respond to renewal packets. If members don't respond, they risk losing their Medicaid coverage.
Renewal packets can be completed online at benefits.ohio.gov, in-person, by mail to their CDJFS, or by phone at 1-844-640-6446.
If the due date has passed, still send/complete online your renewal packet. You have 90 days to re-enroll without needing to submit a new application.
ODM has put together the ODM Toolkit - Resuming Routine Eligibility Operations to assist with the renewal packet process for families.
