(See BT201505) • The PE QP should inform the member of the coverage period and conditions. If the individual does file an Indiana Application for Health Coverage, his or her presumptive eligibility period lasts until a final eligibility determination from the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) has been made. Otherwise, coverage ends the last day of the month following the month that the PE application was completed. • Exception: PE Adult - This group will retain PE coverage until they make the required contributions or a fast track payment. If they meet application and payment timelines, there will be no gap in coverage. • During the presumptive eligibility period, the eligible individual will also be able to receive treatment from other IHCP providers. It is imperative that the hospital employee inform the individual that he or she needs to complete the full application before the temporary eligibility period ends, and provide information about how the applicant can do so. As explained in the acceptance letter, the individual may complete the Indiana Application for Health Coverage: – At the location where the individual was determined presumptively eligible – Online from the DFR Benefits page at in.gov – Over the telephone at 1-800-403-0864 – At an FSSA/Division of Family Resources (DFR) local office. 43 Presumptive Eligibility March 2015 Completing the PE Application Process Presumptive Eligibility (PE) considerations • PE coverage begins the same day a QP determines an PE member to be presumptively eligible. • PE eligibility is terminated the last day of the month following the month in which their PE status was granted if no Indiana Application for Health Coverage is pending with the DFR. – Example: If an PE member is determined presumptively eligible on July 14 and does not submit an Indiana Application for Health Coverage, the PE coverage will end August 31. • Applicants must comply with the IHCP application process (for example, documentation submission). Failure of the member to cooperate with the DFR to complete the enrollment process will result in termination of their PE status. • Prior to clicking “Submit Application”, providers should carefully review all information with the patient to ensure it has been entered correctly i.e., check the spelling of the patient’s name, correct date of birth, etc. Once the application is submitted there is no mechanism to allow the provider to make corrections. If information is accidentally and inadvertently entered incorrectly during the member enrollment process, the provider must contact their Provider Relations Field Representative to have the information corrected. Presumptive Eligibility 44 March 2015 Completing the Indiana Application for Health Coverage • Qualified PE organization may apply to be authorized representatives or Application Organizations (AOs) • QP staff members or it’s designee helping consumers complete the Indiana Application for Health Coverage also need to be certified as Indiana Navigators or designated as authorized representatives. • Only in those roles, may the organization staff assist the PE participant with his or her Indiana Application for Health Coverage. Presumptive Eligibility 45 March 2015 Completing the Indiana Application for Health Coverage The DFR makes all eligibility determinations. • If the Indiana Application for Health Coverage is received by the DFR before the last day of the month following the month in which PE was approved, the individual’s PE will not end until the DFR’s determination is completed. – This ensures there is no gap in coverage. • If the Indiana Application for Health Coverage is approved, PE is terminated on the day after IHCP benefits begin. • IndianaAIM receives eligibility determinations and updates from the DFR on a daily basis. Presumptive Eligibility 46 March 2015 Eligibility Verification Systems and HPE • The eligibility verification systems (EVS) communicate information about PE members the day following the determination by the QP. – Web interChange • https://interchange.indianamedicaid.com/ Administrative/logon.aspx – Automated Voice Response (AVR) • 1-800-738-6770 • Only Web interChange can be used to submit a member application for PE.
