How to Renew New Hampshire Medicaid
Updated August 2026
New Hampshire renews Medicaid eligibility annually through a redetermination process. DHHS first attempts an ex parte review — using electronic data sources including Social Security Administration records, state wage data, and IRS information — to confirm continued eligibility without requiring you to submit new documentation. If ex parte verification confirms eligibility, your coverage is renewed automatically and you receive a notice.

Keep your NH EASY account contact information current
NH DHHS sends Medicaid renewal notices by mail and through the NH EASY online portal at nheasy.nh.gov. If your mailing address is out of date, you may miss your renewal notice and lose coverage. Update your address and contact information at nheasy.nh.gov or by calling 1-844-ASK-DHHS (1-844-275-3447) as soon as your information changes.
How NH Medicaid renews your coverage
When electronic data is insufficient for a determination, DHHS sends a renewal packet by mail and may also generate a task in your NH EASY account. You must respond by the deadline on the notice to avoid losing coverage.
How to renew
You can complete your New Hampshire Medicaid renewal through the following options.
- Online through NH EASY at nheasy.nh.gov — the fastest option and avoids delays from mail delivery
- By phone — call 1-844-ASK-DHHS (1-844-275-3447)
- In person at your district DHHS office
- By mail or fax to your district office, or by mail to 129 Pleasant Street, Concord, NH 03301
Documents that may be needed at renewal
If DHHS cannot confirm your eligibility electronically, you may need to provide documentation.
- Recent pay stubs (last 30 days) or employer letter
- Self-employment income records or most recent federal tax return
- Social Security or SSI award letter
- Proof of New Hampshire residency (utility bill, lease, or official mail)
- Updated immigration documents if immigration status has changed
- Updated household information if anyone has moved in or out
If your NH Medicaid coverage ends
If DHHS terminates your Medicaid coverage and you believe you are still eligible, you have the right to a fair hearing. Request a hearing within 30 days of the termination notice. If you request before coverage ends, New Hampshire may continue coverage during the appeal. Contact your district DHHS office or call 1-844-275-3447 to request an appeal.
How to complete your NH Medicaid renewal
Follow these steps when your New Hampshire Medicaid renewal comes due.
-
1
Log into NH EASY and check for renewal tasks
NH EASY at nheasy.nh.gov will show any outstanding renewal tasks. Log in before the deadline on your renewal notice to review and respond. This is the fastest option and avoids delays from mail delivery.
-
2
Verify your household and income information
Confirm your current income, household size, address, and employment status. If anything has changed since your last renewal — a new job, a household member moving in or out, a change in address — report those changes now.
-
3
Submit any requested documents
If DHHS needs updated income documentation, you can upload directly through NH EASY, fax to your district office, or mail to 129 Pleasant Street, Concord, NH 03301.

Respond by the deadline
Your renewal notice states the deadline — typically 30 days from the notice date. Respond by that date through NH EASY, by calling 1-844-275-3447, or in person at your district DHHS office.
-
5
Confirm your MCO plan continues
After renewal, verify your managed care plan (AmeriHealth Caritas New Hampshire, NH Healthy Families, or WellSense Health Plan) is still active. If your plan assignment changes, you should receive a notice and may have the option to switch.
If your renewal is denied
A denial must state the reason in writing and explain your right to appeal. You have 90 days from the date of the notice to request a fair hearing. File the appeal quickly — if you appeal before your coverage ends, you may be able to continue coverage during the appeal period, though this depends on timing and the reason for denial.
Common renewal denials include income that increased above the threshold, failure to respond to the renewal packet, a change in household size that affects eligibility, or immigration status questions.
Rural Health Transformation Program may expand provider access
Governor Kelly Ayotte launched the Rural Health Transformation Program in September 2025, aimed at strengthening healthcare access in rural New Hampshire communities. This initiative may expand the number of Medicaid-participating providers in rural NH counties. If you have struggled to find a provider accepting NH Medicaid in your area, contact your MCO for updated network information.
