Georgia has leaned on its three care management organizations as part of its strategy to alert all 2.8 million Medicaid enrollees of the return of the renewal process, which the federal government had paused during the pandemic.

On Wednesday, one of them — CareSource Georgia — publicly launched part of its plan to reach its members: Go to them.

CareSource Georgia said it is partnering with providers across the state to use mobile clinics, dubbed Wellness on Wheels, to help spread the word about what people need to do to keep their Medicaid coverage.

Laptops are on board to help people update their information in the state system and go ahead and renew their coverage if it’s their turn to go through the process. The state is handling the renewals in groups one month at a time.
