Important Renewal Information

Every year, members in our Medicaid Managed Care, Child Health Plus, Essential Plan, and HealthierLife (HARP) plans must renew their health coverage. Automatic renewals for those plans will end soon, and you will need to take action to renew your health insurance.  Please contact Fidelis Care to learn more about the renewal process and any action you may need to take.


Stay Connected to Your Health Care

It's important for you to be ready to renew your health insurance coverage. Remember to:
  • Make sure your Fidelis Care and NY State of Health accounts are up to date with your current mailing address, phone number, and email address. If you enrolled in health insurance through your Local Department of Social Services (LDSS) or NYC's Human Resources Administration, you will need to contact them or Fidelis Care.
  • Look for letters and emails from Fidelis Care when it's time for you to renew. Depending on how you enrolled, you will also receive communications from NY State of Health, your Local Department of Social Services, or NYC's Human Resources Administration.
  • If you enrolled through NY State of Health, you can get text alerts from them by texting START to 1-866-988-0327. NY State of Health will text you when it’s time to renew.
