Medicaid Banner Message: Preparing for the End of the Federal Public Health Emergency

Dear Georgia Medicaid Providers,

The Georgia Department of Human Services (DHS) is preparing for the end of the Public Health Emergency (PHE) and the upcoming redeterminations of Medicaid member eligibility.

We are seeking your assistance with this effort. When you meet with Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids members, please remind them to update their account information. This is the first step in the process to ensure eligible members keep their coverage when the federal Public Health Emergency ends.

Since the start of the Public Health Emergency, we have maintained all members on the Medicaid rolls with certain exceptions. Only members who died, moved out of state, were incarcerated, or asked for their coverage to end had their cases closed.

It is important for Georgia Medicaid members to begin preparing by making sure their correct account details are listed in the Georgia Gateway customer portal.

Georgia Medicaid members can quickly and easily report any information that has changed from their last application or renewal by logging in or signing up for an account at gateway.ga.gov.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Members must contact the Social Security Administration (SSA).

This includes changes to their phone numbers (mobile or land line), email addresses, physical addresses, job or income, as well as a change in the number of people in their household.
