    Counselor's Corner

    How can it already be April?! March may have felt like forever with the cold cold weather and the snow flurries. With the weather stretching on, being cooped up inside for longer and not being able to soak in the suns rays coping skills have become so important to try to stay regulated. All grades identified and learned an array of coping skills that would help them in different moods and situations. We also discussed personal safety and why personal safety is so important. April will be working through size of the problem, mindfulness, and apologies.

    Medicaid Renewals - Stay Covered ND

    Medicaid Renewals - Stay Covered ND

    Starting April 1, 2023, North Dakota will begin regular Medicaid renewals for people whose coverage was temporarily extended due to the COVID-19 public health emergency to make sure they still qualify.

    This means that some Medicaid members may lose their coverage if they don't take simple steps now.

    Health coverage is critical for children to thrive in school and in life.

    If you care for a child enrolled in ND Medicaid, we may need to contact you to see if they still qualify for coverage. Here are THREE actions you need to take to prepare.

    • Make sure your contact information is correct.
    • Check your mail.
    • Complete your renewal form (if you get one).

    To update your contact information or for questions, contact the Customer Support Center:

    • Toll-free: 866-614-6005, 711 (TTY)
    • Email: applyforhelp@nd.gov
