Applications at a Non-DFCS Site

DFCS workers are outstationed at certain public health centers, disproportionate share or public hospitals and federally funded health centers to expedite the processing of applications for Medicaid. These workers process the Medicaid applications as if taken at the DFCS office.

Medicaid applications are taken at sites other than DFCS by the facility’s personnel. The facility workers are trained by DFCS to accept applications and conduct interviews.

During the interview at a non-DFCS site, the facility interviewer documents the information, signs and dates the form and forwards it to DFCS.

The DFCS worker reviews the application and interview information and conducts follow-up contact with the applicant, if necessary, either by telephone or mail.
