MEDICAL SERVICES POLICY MANUAL,SECTION K K-100 Medicaid Coverage of Foster Children

Medicaid coverage for Title IV-E-FC (Cat. 92) children who are adopted or in a pre-adoptive placement may continue provided the child remains eligible for IV-E subsidy payments. A reevaluation is not necessary for these children. The CHRIS system will notify the Adoption Specialist or Family Service Worker if the IV-E subsidy payment ends. Once initial eligibility has been established for Title IV-E-FC (Cat. 92) children who are adopted or in a pre-adoptive placement, the agency does not have to redetermine eligibility provided the child remains eligible for IV-E subsidy payments. The CHRIS system will notify the Adoption Specialist or Family Service Worker if the IV-E subsidy ends. K 111 Continuing Eligibility of Foster Care Children Placed for Adoption
