Renew your Medicaid to keep health coverage for another year.

Each year, everyone with Medicaid needs to go through a renewal process to keep their coverage. Because everyone’s renewal date is different, it is important that you stay ready.

When it’s time for you to renew your Medicaid, you’ll get a letter in the mail from the Louisiana Department of Health. It will include a paper renewal form pre-filled with your information.

1. First, check that the information is correct. If you need to make changes, just write them in the spaces provided.
2. Update your household and jobs. You can add additional people in your household or list another job.
3. Sign the form and return it. Even if all the information on your pre-filled form is correct, you still need to sign and return it to renew your Medicaid.

Don’t Miss the Deadline

You must complete your renewal process by the due date on your letter. If you miss the deadline, your coverage will end.

• Renew online: MyMedicaid.la.gov
• Renew by mail: Louisiana Medicaid/LaCHIP, P.O. Box 91283, Baton Rouge, LA 70821-9278
• Renew in person: Contact your Medicaid regional office for assistance.

What happens next?

After you submit your renewal information, the state’s Medicaid office will let you know if you’re still eligible for Medicaid. If you are, you don’t have to do anything else—you’re covered for another year.
