Over the next year, Virginia has to determine the eligibility for the nearly 2 million members who have yet to undergo the renewal process, plus an additional two months afterward to complete outstanding issues. According to the Richmond Times-Dispatch, approximately 300,000 Virginia residents who rely on Medicaid could have their coverage dropped by next year.

 

If you are deemed ineligible for Medicaid coverage during the redetermination process in your state, you could obtain insurance via an employer or by purchasing an insurance policy on the Health Insurance Marketplace. State Medicaid agencies must assist as you transition to other coverage. The Affordable Care Act established the Health Insurance Marketplace, where individuals and families may purchase health insurance plans.

 

You may enroll in insurance via Healthcare.gov during certain set timeframes. Each year, Open Enrollment is from November 1 to January 15. However, if you lose Medicaid coverage, you may be eligible for a Special Enrollment Period, which gives you 60 days to enroll in a Marketplace health plan.
