Medicaid eligibility communications

Renewal notices that put the action and the deadline first

From 2027-01-01, many expansion adults face community-engagement rules and renew every 6 months, so more notices go out, more often. HealthLiteracyCopilot scores each notice, suggests edits that put the action and the deadline first, measures Spanish in Spanish and keeps the reviewer's approval on record before it mails.

What you check first

The action and the deadline first, in each language

  • What to do and by when, before anything else.
  • Spanish measured in Spanish.
  • A reviewer approves each notice before it mails.

What you're measured on

Open a measure to see why it matters and how HealthLiteracyCopilot helps.

  • Procedural disenrollments

    Why it matters
    During the Medicaid unwinding, 69% of disenrollments were for procedural reasons, such as forms not returned (KFF, 2024).
    How HealthLiteracyCopilot helps
    Each notice is scored and revised so the action and the deadline come first, with one ask, the phone number and the ways to reply.

    We don't promise fewer disenrollments. Track your own renewal data to see what changes.

  • Notices reviewed before each mailing

    Why it matters
    With renewals every 6 months, each renewal notice reaches a member twice a year.
    How HealthLiteracyCopilot helps
    The renewal planner lists each notice, its two mailing months, its languages and its owner. Each review keeps the score, the version and who approved it.

    We don't promise a mail date. Your team owns the schedule.

  • Required notice content

    Why it matters
    A work-requirement notice must say who must meet the rule and who is exempt, how to report, what happens if they don't and how to ask for a hearing. It must go out in at least two ways.
    How HealthLiteracyCopilot helps
    The notice checklist covers each part, from the requirement to appeal rights. Required language is protected text that is never rewritten.

    Your counsel decides whether a notice meets the rule.
