How to Respond to A Request for Information from Medicaid
If Medicaid needs information from you, we will ask for it in a letter.
We may need information to complete your application. We may also need information to make sure you can keep coverage you already have. It is important that you respond to these letters or you may lose your coverage, even if you are eligible.
Your letter will tell you what we need from you. Look for the section in the letter with the heading that says “Information We Need From You”. This section will tell you what we need and the date it is due to us. You can send this information to us by email, mail or fax. The contact information you should use is found at the end of your letter. You can also upload documents through the Self-Service Portal.
