Changes to Apple Health Continued Coverage
During the COVID-19 public health emergency, the Health Care Authority extended coverage for all Apple Health (Medicaid) clients. This extension is now ending due to the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023.
What to expect
HCA anticipates resuming normal operations April 1, 2023. Clients will receive a renewal notice prior to the end of their renewal period sometime over the next 12 months, based on a client’s renewal date.
For example, clients with a renewal date in May, will receive a renewal notice in the month of April. Clients found not eligible could lose their coverage as early as April 30, but more likely at the end of May.
Programs requiring the collection of premiums will resume at a future date following federal guidance.
