- SUBJECT:
- UPDATES TO CHIP PREMIUM INFORMATION
- MANUAL REVISION #86
1840.020.00
1840.025.00
DISCUSSION:
Clarification has been added to sections 1840.020.00 INTERIM CHANGES and 1840.025.00 PAYMENT OF PREMIUM of the Family MO HealthNet (MAGI) manual. Both sections now state that:
- A CHIP premium may increase in situations where a person is added to an existing household, but the income and federal poverty level percentage remain in the same category and
- An Adverse Action Notice and an Action Notice must be sent to participants whenever there is an increase in the CHIP premium amount.
NECESSARY ACTION:
- Review this memorandum with the appropriate staff.
