Special Considerations

Effective September 1, 2004, the AMN IH COA will be eliminated due to a change in the State Plan. Complete a CMD to determine if the A/R is eligible under another COA such as regular AMN.

If the A/R was Medicaid eligible under the NH COA prior to IH or no longer elects IH but remains in the NH, enter the appropriate information on the ABD screen(s) in the current eligibility system.

All SSI only recipients receiving Institutionalized Hospice must be entered and processed in Gateway. These cases should be consistent with case management for SSI only nursing home cases. See SSI Recipients, Section 2578.
