Title 5: Centrally Administered Programs Page 19 Iowa Department of Human Services Employees’ Manual Chapter E: Healthy and Well Kids in Iowa (hawk-i) Application Processing Revised August 20, 2010 Medicaid Screening and Referral Process Medicaid Match Legal reference: 441 IAC 86.18(514I) The Department provides a daily Medicaid enrollment file to the hawk-i third-party administrator to identify children who are receiving Medicaid or who have been newly approved for Medicaid. All hawk-i applications are matched against the Medicaid enrollment file to identify children who do not qualify for hawk-i due to the receipt of Medicaid. If there is an end date for Medicaid in the Medicaid enrollment file, hawk-i can be approved for an enrollment period that begins no earlier than the first day of the month following the month in which Medicaid ended. The hawk-i enrollment file is matched monthly against the Medicaid enrollment file to identify children who no longer qualify for hawk-i due to Medicaid being newly approved. When a child whose hawk-i application is still pending is identified as a Medicaid member and there is no Medicaid end date on the Medicaid file, deny the child’s hawk-i coverage due to receipt of Medicaid. When a child currently enrolled in hawk-i is identified as receiving Medicaid, cancel hawk-i coverage using a timely notice. Take actions based on the Medicaid enrollment file as soon as possible but no later than ten working days after receipt of the file. EXCEPTION: When the Medicaid coverage is through the Iowa Family Planning Network (IFPN), do not cancel hawk-i coverage. Notify the Department within ten working days of the receipt of the Medicaid enrollment file so the Department can take action to cancel Medicaid. IFPN cases can be identified by the aid type of 90-6.
