Summary
Illinois has implemented a new centralized Medicaid redetermination process (IMRP) that changes how annual Medicaid eligibility renewals are handled. Long-term care facilities must assist residents with the new 20-day renewal process and use specific contact methods to avoid processing delays.
Action Required
Immediately: Long-term care facilities must assist Medicaid residents with new redetermination process. Contact IMRP at 1-866-255-5437 to update resident addresses when 'Time for Renewal' letters arrive. Ensure families understand 20-day deadline for form completion. For SSI-only clients, write 'SSI only' on form and return. Submit completed forms via postage-paid envelope, fax to 1-866-661-7025, or secure Illinois.gov website - do not take to local DHS offices as this will delay processing.
