Revision 11-3; Effective September 1, 2011
The medical effective date (MED) for Medicaid Buy-In for Children (MBIC) cannot be before Jan. 1, 2011. This includes any prior months' eligibility for MBIC. If an application is received in which the prior months occur before January 2011, determine eligibility for other MEPD programs in those prior months. Do not automatically disregard the prior months because an MBIC application is received and the prior months occur before January 2011.
