SUBJECT: MAGI MANUAL UPDATES TO MO HEALTHNET FOR PREGNANT WOMEN (MPW) PRIOR QUARTER
MANUAL REVISION #19
DISCUSSION:
MAGI manual section 1850.030.00 Prior Quarter (PQ) has been revised to add clarification regarding prior quarter coverage for MO HealthNet for Pregnant Women (MPW) participants. The updates include information on the following:
- When an applicant requests coverage for all three months and is found ineligible for some months; or
- When an applicant does not request coverage for all three PQ months
NOTE: Although staff may see different ME codes from one PQ month to another, the MPW coverage is still the same.
Policy has not changed regarding prior quarter eligibility. A participant who requests and is eligible for MPW in the prior quarter may receive specific months of coverage based on eligibility and the months requested.
NECESSARY ACTION:
- Review this memorandum and manual revision with appropriate staff.
