Re: AABD Medical Eligibility Review

[Guest guest]

Is this related to the integrated care pilot or some kind of Medcaid review?

I would like to take a look.

Do not be in a hurry to fill it out.

Can your PAS agency help?

Let me know if you want me to take a look at it,

Looks like it's a Medicaid review. The first line says " We have to checkif you

can still get medical benefits. We need your help "

Then goes on to say that the form needs to be filled out & sent back in. Also

thatthey need copies of proof of: your family's income for the last 30 days

(except for Social Security & SSI), the amt of your family's checking & savings

accts. anything else we ask you to send us in the questions on this form. Has

to be back by Jun 10th, though I can call the caseworker before that date & tell

them I need more time; or at least , since the letter is adressed to him.

Hopefully they know who his caseworker at the office is, cause I don't. We don't

deal with one.

started getting SSDI in Feb. & doesn't have other income.

I'd like you to take a look at the letter. I guess I could call our PAS agency.

But they are always so hard to get ahold of.

Medicaid is not automatically a forever program. Everyone gets a form for an

update:

to review to see if the person is still eligible for Medicaid. It usually has a

10 day deadline so be careful that you timely complete & return this to the

Medicaid office. If your child is over 18, he is considered his own household so

only his income & assets should be put on the form. This form and all requested

documentation (proof of health insurance, proof of income, proof of

assets...etc...) must be timely returned or the case can be cancelled. Some

offices will send a second request before cancelling a case.

Just got a letter in the mail today for this. It's been a long time since I've

done this & some things have changed since the last one.

The letter was sent to . (He's supposed to write down the names of the

people who live with him & their relation to him. Then there are a bunch of

questions on assets & their worth, etc.

I thought after he turned 18, only his income & assets counted. They want to

know if he he has insurance & a high cost medical condition. He's got some

chronic stuff, but I don't know that I'd consider it " high cost " ....

Can anybody help out on this, or do I need to call the Medicaid office.

Thanks,

Liz, It sounds like a regular medicaid review and not integrated care

pilot.  In

that case, you need to send the information in by the deadline or ask for an

extension.  You do not want to lose his Medicaid eligibility as that is he

criterion for the waiver funding.  He should be considered an adult family of

one.
