The state launched a public awareness campaign to inform Medicaid enrollees of the changes.
Advocacy groups are worried those cut from Medicaid may lose other benefits and healthcare.
New Hampshire is working with advocacy groups to help disenrolled find new health coverage.
The disenrollment is part of New Hampshire's transition to stricter Medicaid eligibility rules.
