Since Bob no longer has an urgent need on that date, his request for presumptive disability Medicaid must be denied. Regardless of whether the IM agency or DDB makes the presumptive disability determination, the Medicaid Disability Application (MADA) (F-10112) must be completed before the IM agency can certify the member based on a presumptive disability. The following forms are required for the presumptive disability process: • Wisconsin Medicaid for the Elderly, Blind or Disabled Application Packet (F-10101) • Medicaid Disability Application (MADA) (F-10112) • Medicaid Presumptive Disability (F-10130) • Authorization to Disclose Information to Disability Determination Bureau (DDB) (F-14014) • Appoint, Change, or Remove an Authorized Representative (F-10126A Person or F- 10126B Organization) (if applicable) Once a presumptive disability decision has been made, the IM agency must still follow the disability application process (see SECTION 5.3 DISABILITY APPLICATION PROCESS and Process Help Section 12.13 Automated Medicaid Disability Determination). The Medicaid Disability Application (MADA) (F-10112) must be completed and sent to DDB along with the necessary copies of the Authorization to Disclose Information to Disability Determination Bureau (DDB) (F-14014). DDB will process the disability application and make a final disability determination. 5.9.3 Presumptive Disability Determined by DDB If the applicant has an urgent need but does not have one of the listed impairments, the IM agency must ask DDB to make a presumptive disability determination. Note If someone has an impairment but not an urgent need, the normal disability application process must be followed (see SECTION 5.3 DISABILITY APPLICATION PROCESS). All the forms listed in Section 5.9.2.3 are still required when DDB is making the presumptive disability determination (see Process Help Section 12.13 Automated Medicaid Disability Determination for more information). DDB will make a presumptive disability determination on these cases and communicate their determination to the local IM agency within three business days of receiving the request for presumptive disability and the Medicaid Disability Application (F-10112) (not including the day the fax was received). Federal regulations generally require the evaluation of certain disabilities after a three-month period of recovery from the original injury or medical event (major head injuries, strokes, heart attacks, etc.). It may not be possible to establish disability, either on a presumptive or final basis, during that period. However, all applications should be submitted, and a complete medical review will be made. 5.9.4 Deceased Applicants While a deceased person can be eligible for Medicaid in the months prior to their death, presumptive disability determinations are not allowed for persons who are deceased. Such requests for a final disability determination are processed through the regular disability process through DDB.
