Summary
EmblemHealth is requiring healthcare practices to actively remind and assist patients with Medicaid, HARP, CHPlus, and Essential Plan coverage to complete their health insurance renewals on time to prevent coverage lapses. This is an operational requirement to help maintain patient coverage continuity, not a billing code change.
Action Required
Immediately: Front desk staff and providers must actively inform all EmblemHealth Enhanced Care (Medicaid), Enhanced Care Plus (HARP), Child Health Plus (CHPlus), and Essential Plan members about renewal deadlines during visits. Use EmblemHealth Provider Guidance tools to help patients understand renewal urgency. Implement reminder system to prevent coverage lapses that could impact future claims.
