Health coverage from Virginia Medicaid needs to be renewed each year. This is called an annual renewal.
If your local department of social services has all the information needed to complete your renewal, this process will be done automatically. You will receive a notice in the mail telling you if your coverage will continue for another year.
If your renewal cannot be completed automatically, you will receive a paper renewal form in the mail. This means you must take action to renew your health coverage.
Renewing online or by phone is faster and easier. You can renew your health coverage in the following ways:
2. By phone: Call Cover Virginia at 1-855-242-8282/TTY: 1-888-221-1590; this call is free.
3. By mail or in person: Complete the paper renewal form and return it to your local department of social services.
Failure to complete and turn in your Medicaid renewal application could result in a lapse of coverage. Call Cover Virginia at 1-855-242-8282 if you have any questions.
