States are required by federal law to approve or deny Medicaid applications within 45 days, or 90 days for applications that require a disability determination. However, data we've compiled from more than 500 of our clients nationwide show that states take longer than 45 days to respond.
The law requires the State to process medical applications as follows: • 60 days - Medical assistance for persons requiring a disability determination. 45 days - Medical assistance for all others.
If you aren't sure if your Medicaid coverage has been approved yet or if it is still active, you can check Manage My Case or call the state's Automated Voice Recognition System (AVRS) at 1-855-828-4995 with your Recipient Identification Number (RIN).
