You can find information on how to update your member information online on the Cover Virginia website. It is important to provide Virginia Medicaid with your most current phone number and mailing address so that you continue to receive information about your coverage.

a. I lost my Medicaid card. How can I get a replacement?

You can order a new Medicaid ID card and receive it within 10 days. To get a new card, you can:

• Call us at 1-855-242-8282 (TDD: 1-888-221-1590) to ask for a new card
• Contact your local Department of Social Services (DSS)
• Go online to commonhelp.virginia.gov, create an account/log in to your account, and select “Check My Benefits.” From there, you will be able to order a new ID card.

b. Which card(s) should I have?

You should have one or two ID cards. All Medicaid members should have a blue-and-white Virginia Medicaid ID card. If you are in fee-for-service, this is your only card. If you are in a managed care health plan, you will have the blue-and-white card and another card from your health plan. Starting soon, some Medicaid members will receive new ID cards with the Cardinal Care logo. Your current cards are still valid until you get a new one.

c. I never received a card. Whom should I contact?

• Call us at 1-855-242-8282 (TDD: 1-888-221-1590) to ask for a replacement
• Contact your local Department of Social Services (DSS)
• Go online to commonhelp.virginia.gov, create an account/log in to your account, and select “Check My Benefits.” From there, you will be able to order a new ID card.

You can call Member Services at the phone number on the back of your ID card to ask about how to contact your provider.

To cancel your Medicaid or Family Access to Medical Insurance Security (FAMIS) coverage, submit a request in writing to your local Department of Social Services (DSS). Find your local DSS office.

Your local social services department or Cover Virginia will process your application and will send you a letter called a Notice of Action. This letter will let you know if you are eligible for Medicaid health coverage. It may take up to 45 days to get a decision on your application. To check your status, you can log in to your account at commonhelp.virginia.gov by clicking the Check My Benefits button or call 1-855-242-8282 (TDD: 1-888-221-1590).

If you received a notice that your health coverage has changed and you have questions, please contact the Member Services phone number on your ID card.

Regular annual renewals are on hold to make sure people have health coverage during the COVID emergency. To make sure you get information when renewals start again, please update your contact information on commonhelp.virginia.gov.
