287 C. If the Provider elects to dispute the inactivation, the Department must receive the Provider’s written request to dispute the inactivation within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of the inactivation notice. D. The Department will review the request and issue a determination on the inactivation which will include the Provider’s right to file an appeal in accordance with Section 8.050. E. The effective date of the inactivation may be backdated to the date of the occurrence described in Section 8.130.80.A. 8.170 STATE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER .10 As medical assistance is administered on an individual recipient basis, rather than on a household basis, the individual recipient is uniquely identified. A state assigned number is used for this purpose. This state identification number consists of an alpha (letter) prefix, followed by a six-digit number. When an individual is approved for medical assistance, the state identification number is assigned. This number is transmitted to the county department via the automated system. .20 The State Identification Number is the only numeric designation medical assistance providers will have, other than the name, to identify individuals. This number is required to be entered on all billing transactions. In order to carry out this responsibility for facilitating provision of medical benefits to recipients, to properly respond to inquiries from providers, to secure benefits of medical resources other than Medicaid (see 8.061 et seq.), and for other administrative purposes, county departments are to maintain cross reference files of household and medical identification numbers. 8.180 MEDICAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS AND DURATION OF ELIGIBILITY 8.181 IDENTIFICATION .10 The state department will issue identification cards directly to clients who are eligible for benefits under a medical assistance program.
