Maryland Department of Health: H.R. 1 Medicaid Campaign Launch

Read the MDH's Resources on Communicating the new Medicaid Changes

About the Campaign

A new federal law, H.R. 1, signed by President Trump, changes Medicaid eligibility requirements and will significantly affect Maryland Medicaid members. Over the coming months, many Marylanders will need to take action to maintain their health coverage.

The Maryland Department of Health, Maryland Health Connection, HealthChoice managed care organizations and community partners are working together to help Maryland families navigate these new changes.

To support the efforts on communicating these changes, a statewide Medicaid Check-In Campaign is being launched, including three new web pages with campaign materials and detailed information:

This coordinated outreach initiative is designed to help Medicaid participants understand upcoming program changes, know when action may be required and access trusted information and assistance. The campaign includes a growing suite of educational and outreach resources that stakeholders can use and share within their communities, including:

  • Flyers
  • FAQs
  • Newsletters/eNewsletters
  • Pay slip inserts
  • Social media ads
  • Waiting room monitor ads

MDH invites all providers to join them in a virtual session on Thursday, June 4 at 3:00PM for an overview of the Medicaid Check-In Campaign, available outreach materials and opportunities for partnership and engagement.
