2662.1 Disability Levels for Presumptive Disability and MediKan

The state's Presumptive Medical Disability Team (PMDT), with certification by the Disability Review Team (DRT), determines whether the individual meets disability or blindness criteria for purposes of Presumptive Medicaid (Tier 1) and MediKan (Tier 2) eligibility.

Individuals must meet Tier 1 disability criteria to qualify for Medicaid under Presumptive Disability. To qualify for MediKan, individuals must meet Tier 2 disability criteria. The PMDT will initially consider disability under Tier 1 criteria and, if not met, disability under Tier 2 is evaluated.
