Summary
Illinois discontinued monthly email notifications for Medicaid redetermination dates for long-term care residents. Providers must now check redetermination dates using the MEDI system through either individual eligibility inquiries or bulk HIPAA X12N 270 uploads.
Action Required
Immediately: Long-term care billing teams must transition from email notifications to using the MEDI system for Medicaid redetermination tracking. Set up processes to regularly check eligibility through either the IEC system for individual residents or upload HIPAA X12N 270 files for bulk inquiries. Monitor the Renewal Due Date field to ensure REDE forms are submitted on time to avoid Medicaid eligibility interruptions.
