Revision 13-2; Effective June 1, 2013
Some applicants for Medicaid in an institutional setting are former recipients of Medicaid.
If a person was certified for Medicaid in an institutional setting based on the medical decision for either disability or blindness reflected in TIERS case comments and documented on the Disability Determination – DDU page, continue to use the existing record to reinstate the Medicaid in an institutional setting, unless case comments indicates a review of the disability or blindness is needed.
In addition, if TIERS case comments and the Disability Determination – DDU page indicates the applicant is permanently excused from further medical review, staff can continue to use this decision for future ME-A and D-Emergency requests or applications.
Do not use the existing Disability Determination – DDU page to process an application in any other situations, except those mentioned above.
