North Carolina Medicaid Updates

North Carolina will begin the recertification (renewal) process for Medicaid beneficiaries on April 1, 2023. This means Medicaid patients are required to submit information to determine they are still eligible for Medicaid coverage. The process will be completed over the next 14 months, as beneficiaries are up for renewal. Some people may no longer have coverage. For other people, benefits may change.   

To learn more, visit Medicaid.gov or call NC Medicaid toll-free at 833-870-5500 (TTY: 711 or RelayNC.com)
