Q) My mother has turned in all her verification forms for renewal of her Medicaid coverage, how do she make sure that she is enrolled and covered by Medicaid?

A) Your mother can check the status of her Medicaid coverage by contacting her local Medicaid office. She can call them or visit their office in person to inquire about her enrollment status. Additionally, if she provided a phone number or email address on her application, she may receive a notification once her enrollment has been processed. It’s also a good idea to keep a copy of all the verification forms and any other documents submitted, just in case there are any issues or delays in the enrollment process.

NOTE: Most states offer a Secure Recipient Portal where you can check your mother’s eligibility status with Medicaid. You can also call your State Medical Assistance (Medicaid) office for more information and to see if she has been approved. You can also call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) to get the phone number for your state’s Medicaid office. TTY users can call 1-877-486-2048.
