how do these changes impact determination of public charge for individuals?

When applying we currently note ER only on the application. Is there something we should note for this program?

thank you for clarifying

^ This is great, thanks for sharing!

Are the correspondences going out to pt's clarifying that pt is approved only for family planning/reproductive services and not full Medicaid? Are there age limits for these services?

Where do we find the provider manual...will you send us a link please

+1 to provider manual. Is that available yet? Will be great to have that resource

For pregnant women in EMAC, will they have benefits extended for 12 months or just for the month of expected delivery?

does that mean there is no age cutoff for family planning benefit? (since it doesn't follow MAGI rules)?

Thank you

are the benefits under family planning and reproductive health exactly the same?

will you please send the memo for the other reproductive program also

thank you

Here is the 12 months postpartum memo, just in case:

could we please get an example of what notices look like for family planning and reproductive health (letting clients know they were approved for each of these)?

Thanks for that clarification Lisa. When did the opt-in start? We've heard of people getting letters saying they are enrolled in this program now, but they applied for Medicaid a few months ago.

I know someone that was suddenly eligible for this, and then their primary care provider refused to see them as they do not see Medicaid patients. Would their best option to stay with the same provider be to opt out of the family planning benefit?

This site should answer your questions:https://www.healthfirstcolorado.com/expanded-maternity-family-planning-benefits/ And additional information is available in the billing manual: https://hcpf.colorado.gov/family-planning-manual

for family planning and rep. health program- the list of contraceptives that are covered are the same I would imagine (for both programs)?

They fall into that category of having applied a while ago

If someone has a miscarriage does their eligibility still cover 12 months?

Sorry I joined late, can you remind me if family planning is automatically approved for individuals eligible for the program?

Disregard my question! Memo answered it

Thanks, Tony.

total change of topic: could you please share an update on the status of being able to use the verbal consent for signature for Medicaid/CHP+ renewal packets?

Same here, Sarah. We have to send people to the county.
