Medicaid Renewal

AmeriHealth Caritas District of Columbia (DC) wants you to keep your health coverage!

If you have health insurance coverage through Medicaid, important changes are happening in 2023. As a result, you’ll have to renew coverage for yourself and your family for the first time in several years. To help ensure that you get important information and meet all critical deadlines, take a minute today and update your contact information. When it is time to renew, the Department of Health Care Finance (DHCF) will send the forms to your new address.

 

Remember, you must first create an account with District Direct. You can download the District Direct mobile app from Google Play or the Apple App Store if you're using a mobile device.

AmeriHealth Caritas DC wants to make sure you and your family stay covered for all your health care needs. Here’s what you need to do now:

  • Update your contact information. If DHCF does not have the proper contact information, you will not receive notice of the need to renew your coverage through the mail or other means! Log in to District Direct to update or report any changes to your household information. Customers may also call the Public Benefits Call Center at 202-727-5355 between 7:30 a.m. and 4:45 p.m. to update their contact information.
  • Check your mail. DHCF will mail you a letter about your Medicaid coverage. This letter will also let you know when it is time to complete your renewal to see if you still qualify for your current program.
 

You risk losing your Medicaid coverage if you do not renew benefits for yourself and your family. If you have additional questions, please contact the Public Benefits Call Center at 202-727-5355 for assistance.
