Change Case from ACA Adult to Family Health Plans (FHP)
There are times when a parent or caretaker relative is no longer eligible for medical under FHP.
This occurs when:
- the only eligible child(ren) moves out of the home; or
- the only eligible child turns 18.
Example 1: Mary, age 67, has two grandchildren living in the home. Since Mary is over the age of 64, she is not eligible for ACA Adult. Due to minor children living in the home she may be eligible for FHP. If Mary is not eligible for FHP, review for AABD.
Example 2: Sue, age 35, is currently in the ACA Adult eligibility group. She reported that her minor child moved into the home. Sue is no longer eligible for ACA Adult. Review eligibility for FHP. If Sue is not eligible for FHP, review for AABD.
Example 3: An ACA Adult reports a newborn. The newborn is potentially eligible for Moms and Babies because the mother was receiving Medicaid under ACA Adult. Review PM 06-09-01. If they are eligible for FHP, change the case level coding as described above.
