Key questions

  • Does the notice say coverage ended, renewal is due, or an appeal is pending?
  • Which Medicaid/CHIP agency or Marketplace route should be checked?
  • Which documents should be gathered before comparing private coverage options?

Suggested next steps

  • Start with the Medicaid/CHIP loss playbook and the state notice.
  • Use Medicaid.gov and state agency routing before treating a private site as authoritative.
  • Move into Marketplace timing only after the official notice status is clear.

Start with the state notice

The notice status controls whether the user is dealing with loss, renewal, appeal, or an unknown transition.
