💙 Your health coverage matters—and a few simple steps now can help you prepare for the new year.
If you or someone in your family has Medicaid, including UPMC for You, changes are coming in 2027.
Some adults may need to renew their coverage every six months. Some may also need to report that they meet a work or community engagement requirement, or qualify for an exemption. These changes will not affect everyone.
Here are a few things you can do now:
✅ Update your contact information with the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS).
✅ Know your renewal date. Check COMPASS or the myCOMPASS PA app.
✅ Open your mail from DHS. Complete and return any requested forms or information by the deadline.
✅ Ask for help. UPMC members can call the UPMC Medicaid and CHIP Renewal Support Team at 1-800-978-8762, Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m.
💙 Your coverage will not automatically change on January 1. Watch for information from DHS about what applies to you.
Please share this with a family member, friend, or neighbor who may find it helpful!
