ACWDL 13-03: Screening of (1) Child Applicants in the Age Group 6-18 for Potential No Cost Medi-Cal Eligibility Under Section 1931(b) and (2) Deemed Eligible Medi-Cal Infants Under the Age of One

Posted on by

This letter is the result of the lawsuit filed by Maternal Health and Child Access (MCHA) against DHCS and MRMIB for failing to refer Healthy Families applicants who applied through the Single Point of Entry (SPE) to Medi-Cal for 1931(b) screening and for failing to implement deemed infant screening procedures.  Because Healthy Families is no longer enrolling new applicants as of January 1, 2013, all applications are being forwarded to Medi-Cal anyway.  However, MRMIB is conducting outreach to current HFP families who may have been impacted and advising them that they may complete a Premium Reevaluation form to be screened for 1931(b) eligibility.

Amends ACWDL 13-02, which informs counties of the allocations and property limits for the Medicare Savings Programs (MSPs) as well as the Medicare premium amounts for 2013.  The letter, available here, also directs counties to disregard Title II COLAS for programs where eligibility is based on the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) until the new 2013 FPLs are effective for that program.
