For Individual and Family or Medicaid members, the best thing you can do to avoid a gap in coverage is to keep a close eye out for communications, including USPS mail, email and phone calls, from Providence Health Plan or Providence Health Assurance. If you currently have coverage through your employer, they will be the best source of information for your coverage options beyond 2026.
