Important Information About Your Coverage

07/07/23

If you currently receive health insurance through TennCare, Tennessee’s CoverKids, Georgia Medicaid, Georgia’s PeachCare for Kids or Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), you must renew your benefits this year to maintain health insurance coverage.                           

Why is this happening?

During the COVID-19 pandemic, all TennCare, CoverKids, Georgia Medicaid, PeachCare for Kids recipients and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), were continuously enrolled in health insurance coverage without needing to reapply for benefits.  Due to a recent federal law, continuous TennCare, CoverKids, Georgia Medicaid, PeachCare for Kids and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) enrollment ended on March 31, 2023, so you need to take steps to ensure your health insurance coverage will continue if you are eligible.

What can you do to maintain your coverage?

  • Tennessee residents: Make sure to update your contact information with TennCare or CoverKids. You can visit  TennCareConnect.tn.gov or call 855-259- 0701 to learn more about eligibility requirements and eligibility. 
  • Georgia residents: Make sure to update your contact information with Georgia Medicaid or PeachCare for Kids. You can visit StayCovered.ga.gov or call 877-423-4746 to learn more about eligibility requirements and eligibility. 
  • Be on the lookout for renewal materials from Tennessee or Georgia and complete and submit the required information.
