Summary
New Jersey Medicaid has updated their MEVs (Member Eligibility Verification) and eMEVS systems to better identify MCHIP (Medicaid Child Health Insurance Program) and SCHIP (State Children's Health Insurance Program) recipients. This change affects how providers verify eligibility for pediatric Medicaid and CHIP patients.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing and front desk staff should review the updated MEV and eMEVS systems to understand new identification methods for MCHIP and SCHIP recipients. Verify patient eligibility using the updated system features to ensure proper identification of these specific pediatric coverage types during registration and before service delivery.
