If Medicaid eligibility is determined, what may happen automatically?

• A. You will automatically be assigned to Medicaid coverage
• B. You must maintain your current plan
• C. You may automatically be assigned to Medicaid coverage
• D. Your premium will double automatically

Answer: (C)

When Medicaid eligibility is found, you may be moved into Medicaid coverage automatically. This can happen because the system transfers you to the Medicaid program without you having to choose a private plan, ensuring you get coverage without gaps. However, it isn’t guaranteed in every state or case—some people will need to take action to enroll or confirm enrollment. Premiums for Medicaid are typically very low or zero, so automatic assignment does not mean a sudden increase like doubling a premium. So the correct idea is that you may automatically be assigned to Medicaid coverage when eligibility is determined.
