c. When requested, verification of monthly enrollment costs via a paycheck stub if the policy holder is currently enrolled or, if available, enrollment information provided by the employer indicating the policy holder's monthly premium for the appropriate family composition. 2. Requirement to enroll in ESI – Medicaid members required to enroll in the ESI must cooperate as follows: a. Enroll in the ESI in the manner, and within the timelines, established by EOHHS. Failure to do so will result in the termination of Medicaid for any eligible parents/caretaker age nineteen (19) and older in the family who would otherwise have been enrolled in RIte Share. Children and/or individuals who are pregnant will not be terminated from Medicaid. See § 3.18 of this Part. b. Submit verification of enrollment in accordance with § 3.17 of this Part when the employer does not participate in RIte Share. c. Provide reports to EOHHS indicating any changes in enrollment status of Medicaid-eligible family members, enrollment costs, household composition, employment, income, residence, and access to ESI within ten (10) days from the date the change occurs. 3.

Payments are NOT transferrable from one employer to another (i.e., payment is employer-specific). If a member receives payment for coverage for which they are no longer eligible, they will be responsible for paying those premiums back to EOHHS. Pursuant to Part 10-00-6 of this Title, If a member does not pay back those overpayments, the State has a right to recoup those dollars from the member’s RI tax refund (see § 3.8). 3.21 Good Cause A.

Extraordinary circumstances – EOHHS must exempt a Medicaid member from RIte Share participation only when there are extraordinary circumstances which preclude the individual from receiving medically necessary care through the RIte Share-approved plan.
