New Medicaid Requirements Starting January 1, 2027

You may have seen or read that Medicaid has new changes. As a CareFirst CHPMD member, these changes may affect you, or they may not, since they will only apply to some adults (ages 19 to 64) in Maryland.

Things to Do

  • Ensure your address, phone number(s) and email addresses are up to date with Maryland Health Connection (MHC).
  • Use the screener tool to find out if these changes may apply to you.
  • Report changes to your household (like getting married, being pregnant or having a baby) or changes to your income on your MHC application.
  • Be sure to renew your coverage on time in 2026. MHC can confirm your renewal date.
  • More information can be found on MHC's website.
