This category is identified in IEDSS as MA X. MA X is based on deemed eligibility and does not have a budget or redetermination. It is a full coverage category with no cost sharing and is at the top of the Medicaid hierarchy, therefore, it should not be replaced with any other category of medical coverage. The only exception to this is if a newborn is approved for the MA D category. If an ongoing MA X child is approved for MA D, the category change will be effective the following month. A child born to an individual who was receiving (and eligible for) Traditional Medicaid, HIP, or any Hoosier Healthwise benefit package except Package C (MA 10), at the time of the child's birth, is deemed automatically eligible for Medicaid in the Newborn category. Coverage in this category continues for 12 months from birth. Refer to Sections 2225.10 and 2428.00.
