- SUBJECT:
- CORRECTION TO FAMILY MO HEALTHNET (MEDES) MANUAL FOR THE CHILDREN’S HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM (CHIP)
- MANUAL REVISION #7:
1840.015.00 BEGIN AND END DATES FOR CHIP COVERAGE
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this memorandum is correct the Family MO HealthNet MEDES manual for CHIP. The MEDES manual for CHIP incorrectly stated in section 1840.015.00 BEGIN AND END DATES FOR CHIP COVERAGE:
- For children in the Reduced Premium group (CHIP73 and CHIP74) MO HealthNet eligibility begins with the first day of the month in which eligibility is met and coverage begins the date the premium is received.
The corrected statement follows:
- For children in the Reduced Premium group (CHIP73 and CHIP74) MO HealthNet eligibility begins on the date of application, or first day of the month determined eligible. Coverage begins on the date of application or first day of the month determined eligible, or the date the premium is paid, whichever is later.
The manual has been updated with this correction as well as some minor changes added for clarification.
NECESSARY ACTION:
- Review this memorandum with appropriate staff.
