Summary
Connecticut created a new Medicaid coverage group for uninsured residents to receive COVID-19 testing and testing-related visits at no cost, effective retroactively to March 18, 2020. Providers must maintain fiscal records for uninsured COVID-19 services and cannot bill uninsured patients for COVID-19 treatment per Executive Order 7U.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing team must maintain separate fiscal records for all COVID-19 testing and treatment services provided to uninsured patients. Stop billing uninsured patients directly for COVID-19 services. Encourage uninsured patients seeking COVID-19 testing to apply for coverage through Access Health CT at www.accesshealthct.com or 1-855-805-4325. Update billing workflows to identify and track these services for potential retroactive Medicaid reimbursement.
