Posted on

FROM:  PATRICK LUEBBERING, DIRECTOR

SUBJECT:  MAGI MANUAL UPDATES TO MO HEALTHNET FOR PREGNANT WOMEN (MPW) PRIOR QUARTER

MANUAL REVISION #19

1850.030.00

 

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.

IM-027 – TITLE V INCOME FOR MO HEALTHNET FOR THE AGED, BLIND, AND DISABLED (MHABD)

Posted on

FROM:  PATRICK LUEBBERING, DIRECTOR

SUBJECT:  TITLE V INCOME FOR MO HEALTHNET FOR THE AGED, BLIND, AND DISABLED (MHABD)         

 

DISCUSSION:

Title V income was incorrectly excluded from income for MHABD determinations made in FAMIS.  This has been corrected.  Effective January 27, 2019, FAMIS will begin counting earned income coded as Title V Green Thumb (GT) for all MHABD determinations.

Manual section 0805.015.10 INCOME EXCLUSIONS is correct and does not list Title V as an excluded income source.

The FAMIS INCOME CODE CHART is incorrect and lists Title V as excluded for MHABD.  This will be corrected with a future update.

 

NECESSARY ACTION:

  • Review this memorandum with appropriate staff.
