Summary
Illinois Medicaid is reminding long-term care providers that all Medicaid applications, 3654 forms, and MEDI TAN submissions must be complete and accurate. Providers must exercise due diligence to obtain correct information and properly distinguish between 'no' responses and unknown/blank responses when completing applications.
Action Required
Immediately: Long-term care billing staff must review current Medicaid application procedures to ensure all forms are complete and accurate before submission. Train staff to properly consult families, POA, guardians, and residents to obtain accurate information. Establish protocols to distinguish between 'no' responses (confirmed negative) and leaving fields blank for unknown information. Review all TAN submissions for accuracy as data fields cannot be edited after submission in MEDI system.
