Texting Medicaid Patients Will Be The Law In 2026

📱Texting Medicaid patients will be the law in 2026!

The recently passed “Big Beautiful Budget Bill” just opened the door for Medicaid managed care plans to use text messaging to communicate with patients. As reported by Fierce Healthcare, these plans must inform Medicaid enrollees via mail, email, and one additional method, like SMS.

This is a major win for patient engagement, and something Vironix Health has prioritized since day one. Additionally, we’re now integrating compliant calling and texting directly into our platform to ensure every communication meets regulatory standards and reinforces our commitment to high-quality care.

We meet patients where they are - email, calls, texts. Is your team prepared for this new era of communication?

Whether it’s RPM or CCM, our system checks vitals in real time and alerts patients when something’s off, helping them take action early and avoid unnecessary ER visits.
