Medicaid Unwinding Checklist
Important Changes Coming to the Pennsylvania Medical and CHIP Program Eligibility
Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute (PPI) has identified that you or a family member are receiving services at PPI and are covered through Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Soon, the Pennsylvania Office of Medical Assistance will resume Medicaid and CHIP eligibility reviews. This means that some people with Medicaid or CHIP could be disenrolled from those programs.
What Can You Do Now?
- Make sure your address and phone number are up-to-date with the PA Medicaid Program.
- Check your mail for an important letter regarding your Medicaid or CHIP coverage. This letter may include a renewal form. It is important that you complete the form and return it promptly.
Important Dates
- April 2023 – First month Medicaid enrollees can be removed.
- May 2023 – End of the Public Health Emergency.
- May 2024 – Last month to complete all unwinding activities.
