The term encompasses the scope of health coverage available to categorically and medically needy eligible beneficiaries as well as those who are treated as such under the State’s Section 1115 demonstration waiver. However, the term does not apply to partial dual eligible persons who, under the provisions of this section, qualify only for financial assistance through the MPPP to help pay Medicare cost-sharing. 15. "Medically necessary service" means a medical, surgical, or other service required for the prevention, diagnosis, cure, or treatment of a health- related condition including any such services that are necessary to prevent or slow a decremental change in either medical or mental health status. 16. “Medically needy” means an IHCC group for elders and persons with disabilities who have high medical expenses and income that exceeds the maximum eligibility threshold for Medicaid. For non-LTSS beneficiaries in this coverage group, Medicaid eligibility and coverage occur when the amount they spend on medical expenses meets the medically needy income limit established by the State. For LTSS beneficiaries, excess income must be contributed toward the cost of care. Non-LTSS medically needy beneficiaries are covered on a fee-for-service basis. 17. “Medicare-Medicaid Plan" or "MMP” is an integrated managed care plan under contract with the Federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and EOHHS to provide fully integrated Medicare and Medicaid benefits to eligible MME beneficiaries. 18. “Member" or "Enrollee” means a Medicaid-eligible person receiving benefits through Rhody Health Partners, a Medicare-Medicaid Plan, or the Program for All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly. 19. “Partial dual eligible” means a Medicare beneficiary who does not meet the requirements for Medicaid Health Coverage, but who is eligible for the State’s Medicare Premium Payment Program (MPP).
