Insurances Accepted

If your Medicaid benefits have recently ended, there could be several reasons for this, including:

• Recertification Issues: The recertification form mailed to the address that the Division of Welfare and Supportive Services (DWSS) has on file may not have been completed and returned.
• Personal Information Changes: If you have recently changed your name due to marriage, adoption, etc., this may have affected your eligibility.
• Income Changes: If you recently became employed, your income during the recertification process may have exceeded federal limits to qualify for Medicaid.

Steps to Reapply for Medicaid Benefits

You can reapply for Medicaid benefits through any of the following methods:

• Online Application: Complete a new application online using the following link: Access Nevada Medicaid Application
• In-Person Application: Visit a local DWSS office to complete a new application. A complete list of office locations can be found here: DWSS District Offices
• Phone Application: Call (702) 486-1646 using your PIN to speak with a Family Services Specialist. They can guide you through the process of reapplying for Medicaid benefits.

After Your Benefits Are Reactivated

Once your Medicaid benefits have been reactivated:

• Provide any medical professionals with updated information, such as your new Medicaid ID number.
• If your old number has been reactivated, simply notify your providers that your coverage is active again.

If you’ve recently lost your commercial health insurance coverage, there could be several reasons for this, including:

• Employment Changes: If your insurance was provided through an employer, losing or changing jobs may have affected your coverage.
• Non-Payment of Premiums: Missed payments can result in a lapse in coverage.
• Life Changes: Events like marriage, divorce, or a dependent aging out of coverage may have impacted your policy.

Steps to Regain or Obtain Coverage

• Contact Your Insurance Provider: Call your previous insurance company directly to clarify the reason for the lapse. Ask about options to reinstate the policy if applicable, such as making past-due payments.
• COBRA Continuation Coverage: If you lost insurance due to job termination or changes in employment, you may be eligible for COBRA coverage, which allows you to continue your employer-sponsored insurance for a limited time. Contact your former employer’s HR department for details on enrolling in COBRA.
• Health Insurance Marketplace: If you cannot reinstate your previous policy, visit HealthCare.gov to explore available plans. You may qualify for a Special Enrollment Period (SEP) if you recently lost coverage. Visit Nevada Health Link for more options.
• Consider Medicaid or Other Assistance Programs: If your income has changed, you may qualify for Medicaid or subsidized coverage through the Marketplace.
• Speak with a Licensed Insurance Broker: A licensed broker can help you compare plans and find one that fits your budget and health needs. This service is often free to you as the consumer.
