How can I get my Medicaid case transferred to you from another state? Thank you.

A) To get your Medicaid case transferred, you will need to follow these general steps:

1. Research your new state’s Medicaid program: Familiarize yourself with the Medicaid program in the state to which you are moving. Each state has its own Medicaid rules, eligibility criteria, and application procedures. You can visit the official website of the Medicaid program in your new state to gather information.
2. Notify your current state’s Medicaid agency: Contact your current state’s Medicaid agency and inform them about your intention to move and transfer your Medicaid case. They will guide you on the necessary steps to take and provide any required documentation.
3. Contact your new state’s Medicaid agency: Reach out to the Medicaid agency in your new state and inquire about the process for transferring your Medicaid case. They will inform you of the specific requirements and procedures for transferring your benefits.
4. Gather required documentation: Prepare the necessary documents for your Medicaid transfer. This may include identification documents, proof of income, residency verification, and any additional documents specified by your new state’s Medicaid agency.
5. Complete the application process: Follow the instructions provided by your new state’s Medicaid agency to complete the application for Medicaid transfer. This may involve filling out forms, providing supporting documents, and submitting the application through the designated channels. Be sure to comply with any specified deadlines.
6. Follow up with your new state’s Medicaid agency: Stay in touch with the Medicaid agency in your new state to track the progress of your transfer. If there are any additional requirements or if they need further information, respond promptly to avoid any delays.
7. Coordinate with your healthcare providers: If you have established relationships with healthcare providers in your current state, notify them about your upcoming move and discuss options for transitioning your care to new providers in your new state. They may be able to provide guidance and help you with the transfer process.

Remember that the specific steps and requirements for transferring your Medicaid case may vary between states. It’s important to reach out to both your current and new state’s Medicaid agencies for accurate and up-to-date information.

Medicaid is a state-run program, and each state has its own rules and regulations for transferring cases. Example: To transfer your Medicaid case to California, you will need to contact the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS).

Example: Here are the steps on how to transfer your Medicaid case to California:

1. Contact DHCS and let them know that you are moving to California and would like to transfer your Medicaid case.
2. DHCS will ask you to provide some information, such as your name, address, date of birth, and Social Security number.
3. DHCS will also ask you to provide information about your current Medicaid coverage, such as the name of your state, your Medicaid ID number, and the date your coverage ends.
4. DHCS will then transfer your case to California.

Once your case has been transferred to California, you will be able to continue receiving Medicaid benefits in California. You will not have to reapply for Medicaid.
