“Designated single state agency; payment requirements; program title; release of medical records under the social welfare law”
The Agency for Health Care Administration is authorized to make payments for the Medicaid program. The Department of Children and Family Services is responsible for Medicaid eligibility determinations. As a condition of Medicaid eligibility, an individual must consent to the release of his medical records to the Agency for Health Care Administration and the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit of the Department of Legal Affairs.
The Department of Children and Family Services and the Agency for Health Care Administration must establish an internet-based system for Medicaid and CHIP. The system must be able to:
- Provide individuals and families with a single point of access to information that explains benefits, premiums, and cost sharing available through Medicaid, CHIP, or any other state or federal health insurance exchange.
- Enable timely, accurate, and efficient enrollment of eligible persons into available assistance programs.
- Prevent eligibility fraud.
- Allow for detailed financial analysis of eligibility-based cost drivers.
