All Medical Programs
Before closing a Medicaid case, review the case for eligibility under other medical assistance programs for each recipient. This includes Medicare Cost Sharing programs (320), Children’s Health Insurance program or UPP.
Do not require a new application. Application policy and time frames apply (703).
Determine eligibility for other programs unless the client:
states they no longer want medical coverage,
has moved out of state,
cannot be located, or
is deceased.
If possible, determine eligibility without contacting the client. If you need information or verification from the client, follow the verification policy found in 731.
Close the program when the household no longer qualifies or requests closure of their coverage. Follow advance notice requirements policy in 811.
Do not extend a time-limited program (721-4) past the month the time limit has ended. See 349 for Pregnant Woman policy.
If an SSI recipient stops receiving SSI payments, see 329, 303-6 and 330.
