Pardon our Progress

This is another in a series of issuances to the Medical Services Policy Manual under the new format. To make the manual more user-friendly, we have reformatted the pages and are in the process of reorganizing the manual. When completed, the manual will be comprised of four distinct sections:

  • 1000 through 9000 will contain general Medicaid information that applies to all categories.
  • 10000 through 19000 will contain information regarding Medicaid for families.
  • 20000 through 29000 will contain information regarding Medicaid for the Aged, Blind and Disabled.
  • 30000 through 39000 will contain information regarding Medicaid categories not based on Aged, Blind or Disabled criteria or Family Medicaid criteria.

Summary of Changes

Policy has been developed and added to [MS 11400] to provide the basic income eligibility requirements for Family Medicaid categories in the Medical Services Policy Manual. This will eliminate the necessity of referring to the FA Manual for income eligibility information for Family Medicaid. The [Table of Contents] covering Family Medicaid Income and Breast and Cervical Cancer Medicaid is also being issued at this time.
