Illinois Medicaid Member Alert: Don’t Risk Losing Your Health Insurance Once annually, as an Illinois Medicaid member, you may have to complete a renewal process to keep your benefits. This process is called redetermination, or Rede. You may have to complete your Rede paperwork once the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency ends, too. The Illinois Department of Health and Family Services (HFS) needs to be able to send you important information so you can complete your redetermination. It’s important to update your mailing address on file with HFS, using the best address where mail can always reach you. You can update your address online or by phone. It’s easy, fast, and free!
Watch your mailbox to make sure you don’t miss your redetermination paperwork. You’ll receive Rede info from HFS. Don’t lose your Illinois Medicaid benefits. Complete your redetermination paperwork on time! |
