HHS URGES ND MEDICAID MEMBERS TO COMPLETE RENEWAL FORMS
BISMARCK, N.D. – North Dakota Health and Human Services (HHS) is urging North Dakotans who receive ND Medicaid renewal forms, also known as review forms, to complete and return them to a human service zone office within 30 days to ensure continued coverage, if they still qualify.
On May 31, about 13,100 ND Medicaid members were due for a renewal and only about one in three members who were sent a renewal form returned it, which means 4,421 people were disenrolled on May 31 even though many may still qualify for coverage.
“Our goal is to maintain coverage for all people who remain eligible with a particular emphasis on children and people with disabilities,” said HHS interim Medical Services Division Director Krista Fremming. “To a certain extent, there have always been Medicaid members who have lost coverage because they did not return paperwork needed to determine if they still qualified. We want to take this opportunity to make sure members who qualify can still access health care when they need it.”
HHS’ May data also shows that about seven out of 10 members who did return their renewal form still qualified for coverage.

MOORHEAD POLICE INVOLVED IN PURSUIT ENDING IN CRASH
MOORHEAD –Monday night, Moorhead Officers attempted to stop a motor vehicle for no registration in the 1200 block of 19 Street South. The officer had been trying to locate the vehicle after it traveled along a suspicious route through an apartment parking lot in the area.
The vehicle was several blocks in front of the officer when they attempted to initiate a traffic stop. The suspect vehicle accelerated southbound on 19 Street South and the officer initiated a pursuit.
The officer lost sight of the vehicle at the intersection of 20 Avenue South and 19 Street South. Once at that intersection the officer observed damage to a fence and the suspect vehicle in the back yard of a residence. Officers found the vehicle unoccupied.
A perimeter was established to locate the suspects. A Clay County Sheriff’s Office K9 unit was requested to search the area. This search was unsuccessful, and the driver has not been identified at this time.
The suspect vehicle damaged the fence, deck, and unattached garage. The value of the damage is unknown currently. No known individuals were injured during this incident. The investigation to identify the driver is ongoing.
