Instead of the separate blue paper card, the Medical ID card is now included in all Medicaid approval notices. The Medical ID card does not include any date parameters since eligibility may terminate.

In situations where retroactive eligibility is established, the Medicaid coverage will be validated appropriately for each back-dated month. 1.21.7.B Ending Date of Eligibility The ending date of eligibility is the last day of the month of the effective date of closure.
