If a recipient reports he did not receive his Medicaid card, research the file. The card can be given to him personally or mailed to him. Follow instructions in MA-2380, Medicaid Identification Card.

2. Advise the recipient that Medicaid cards are not forwarded. Instruct the individual to report any change in address to SSA to ensure the Medicaid address is corrected.

If an SSI Medicaid recipient reports he lost his Medicaid card or did not receive it, the county dss can order a replacement Medicaid card. Follow procedures in MA-2380, Medicaid Identification Card, to issue the card.

C. Transportation Services

SSI Medicaid recipients are eligible for Medicaid transportation services. The Medicaid approval notice instructs the SSI recipient to contact the county dss if he needs transportation to medical care.

An SSI recipient may apply for transportation in person or by phone. When an SSI Medicaid recipient requests transportation assistance, follow instructions in MA-2910, Medicaid Transportation.
