IF YOU OBTAIN YOUR OWN HEALTH COVERAGE

  1. You must report this information to your caseworker.

  2. In order to cover a preexisting condition(s), you may need to provide your new insurer with a Certificate of Creditable Coverage.

If you expect to purchase your own health insurance or receive health insurance through an employer within the next two months, in order to avoid being denied payment for services for preexisting health conditions, you may need to provide your health insurer with a Certificate of Creditable Coverage, which will provide proof of continuous medical coverage. 

To request this Certificate of Creditable Coverage, call
(609) 588-3721 (24 hr. / day) and be prepared to leave the following information at the voice prompt:

  • Full Name
  • Social Security Number
  • 12 digit Medicaid Number

Allow up to 3 weeks for delivery of your certificate.
