Medicaid and CHIP Renewal Materials
By Medicaid.gov / Summer 2024
CMS has created materials and resources to help people with Medicaid or Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) renew their health coverage or find other coverage options.
CMS wants to make sure people continue to have health care coverage, whether through Medicaid, CHIP, Medicare, HealthCare.gov (through the Affordable Care Act), or employer-sponsored coverage. Partners can use these materials to help share information about Medicaid and CHIP renewals with the communities they serve. Below you’ll find materials, toolkits, and resources to help educate people about Medicaid and CHIP renewals and how to transition to another coverage option.
This webpage was refreshed summer 2024.
