Eligibility and Enrollment 2.3.1 The State of Georgia has the sole authority for determining eligibility for the Medicaid program and whether Medicaid beneficiaries are eligible for Enrollment in GF. DCH or its Agent will determine eligibility for PeachCare for Kids™ and will collect applicable premiums. DCH or its agent will continue responsibility for the electronic eligibility verification system (EVS).
2.3.2 DCH or its Agent will review the Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS) file daily and send written notification and information within two (2) Business Days to all Members who are determined eligible for GF. A Member shall have thirty (30) Calendar Days to select a CMO plan and a PCP. Each Family Head of Household shall have thirty (30) Calendar Days to select one (1) CMO plan for the entire Family and PCP for each member. DCH or its Agent will issue a monthly notice of all Enrollments to the CMO plan.
2.3.3 If the Member does not choose a CMO plan within thirty (30) Calendar Days of being deemed eligible for GF, DCH or its Agent will Auto-Assign the individual to a CMO plan using the following algorithm: · If an immediate family member(s) of the Member is already enrolled in one CMO plan, the Member will be Auto-Assigned to that plan; · If there are no immediate family members already enrolled and the Member has a Historical Provider Relationship with a Provider, the Member will be Auto-Assigned to the CMO plan where the Provider is contracted; · If the Member does not have a Historical Provider Relationship with a Provider in any CMO plan, or the Provider contracts with all plans, the Member will be Auto-Assigned based on an algorithm determined by DCH that may include quality, cost, or other measures.
2.3.4 Enrollment, whether chosen or Auto-Assigned, will be effective at 12:01 a.m. on the first (1st) Calendar Day of the month following the Member selection or Auto-Assignment, for those Members assigned on or between the first (1st) and twenty-fourth (24th) Calendar Day of the month. For those Members assigned on or between the twenty-fifth (25th) and thirty-first (31st) Calendar Day of the month, Enrollment will be effective at 12:01 a.m. on the first (1st) Calendar Day of the second (2nd) month after assignment.
2.3.5 In the future, at a date to be determined by DCH, DCH or its Agent may include quality measures in the Auto-Assignment algorithm. Members will be Auto-Assigned to those plans that have higher scores based on quality, cost, or other measures to be defined by DCH. This factor will be applied after determining that there are no Historical Provider Relationships.
2.3.6 In any Service Region, DCH may, at its discretion, set a threshold percentage for the enrollment of members in a single plan and change this threshold percentage at its discretion. Members will not be Auto-Assigned to a CMO plan that exceeds this threshold unless a family member is enrolled in the CMO plan or a Historical Provider Relationship exists with a Provider that does not participate in any other CMO plan in the Service Region. When DCH changes the threshold percentage in any Service Region, DCH will provide the CMOs in the Service Region with a minimum of fourteen (14) days advance notice in writing.
2.3.7 DCH or its Agent will have five (5) Business Days to notify Members and the CMO plan of the Auto-Assignment. Notice to the Member will be made in writing and sent via surface mail. Notice to the CMO plan will be made via file transfer.
2.3.8 DCH or its Agent will be responsible for the consecutive Enrollment period and re-Enrollment functions.
2.3.9 Conditioned on continued eligibility, all Members will be enrolled in a CMO plan for a period of twelve (12) consecutive months. This consecutive Enrollment period will commence on the first (1st) day of Enrollment or upon the date the notice is sent, whichever is later. If a Member disenrolls from one CMO plan and enrolls in a different CMO plan, consecutive Enrollment period will begin on the effective date of Enrollment in the second (2nd) CMO plan.
2.3.10 DCH or its Agent will automatically enroll a Member into the CMO plan in which he or she was most recently enrolled if the Member has a temporary loss of eligibility, defined as less than sixty (60) Calendar Days. In this circumstance, the consecutive Enrollment period will continue as though there has been no break in eligibility, keeping the original twelve (12) month period.
2.3.11 DCH or its Agent will notify Members at least once every twelve (12) months, and at least sixty (60) Calendar Days prior to the date upon which the consecutive Enrollment period ends (the annual Enrollment opportunity), that they have the opportunity to switch CMO plans. Members who do not make a choice will be deemed to have chosen to remain with their current CMO plan.
2.3.12 In the event a temporary loss of eligibility has caused the Member to miss the annual Enrollment opportunity, DCH or its Agent will enroll the Member in the CMO plan in which he or she was enrolled prior to the loss of eligibility. The member will receive a new 60-calendar day notification period beginning the first day of the next month.
2.3.13 In accordance with current operations, the State will issue a Medicaid number to a newborn upon notification from the hospital, or other authorized Medicaid provider.
2.3.14 Upon notification from a CMO plan that a Member is an expectant mother, DCH or its Agent shall mail a newborn enrollment packet to the expectant mother. This packet shall include information that the newborn will be Auto-Assigned to the mother’s CMO plan and that she may, if she wants, select a PCP for her newborn prior to the birth by contacting her CMO plan. The mother shall have ninety (90) Calendar Days from the day a Medicaid number was assigned to her newborn to choose a different CMO plan.
2.3.15 DCH may, at its sole discretion, elect to modify this threshold and/or use quality based auto-assignments for reasons it deems necessary and proper.

Disenrollment An Enrollee must be disenrolled from the Plan if the Beneficiary:
a. No longer resides in the State of Mississippi;
b. Is deceased;
c. No longer qualifies for medical assistance under one of the Medicaid eligibility categories in the targeted population. The Contractor must notify the Division within three (3) days of their request that an Enrollee is disenrolled for a reason listed above and provide written documentation of disenrollment. Disenrollment shall be effective on the first day of the calendar month for which the disenrollment appears on the Enrollee Listing Report. The Contractor shall not disenroll an Enrollee because of an adverse change in the Enrollee’s health status, or because of the Enrollee’s utilization of medical services, diminished mental capacity, or uncooperative or disruptive behavior resulting from Enrollee’s special needs (except when Enrollee’s continued enrollment in the CCO seriously impairs the Contractor’s ability to furnish services to either this particular Enrollee or other Enrollees.) The Contractor must file a request to disenroll an Enrollee with the Division in writing stating specifically the reasons for the request if the reasons are for other than those specified above. An Enrollee may request disenrollment without cause during the ninety (90) days following the date the Division sends the Enrollee notice of enrollment or the date of the Enrollee’s initial enrollment, whichever is later, during the annual open enrollment period, upon automatic reenrollment if the temporary loss of Medicaid eligibility has caused the Enrollee to miss the annual disenrollment opportunity, or when the Division imposes an intermediate sanction on the Contractor as specified in this Contract. An Enrollee may request disenrollment from the CCO for cause if the CCO does not, because of moral or religious objections, cover the service the Enrollee seeks, the Enrollee needs related services to be performed at the same time, not all related services are available within the network, the Enrollee’s primary care provider or another provider determines receiving the services separately would subject Enrollee to unnecessary risk, poor quality of care, lack of access to services covered under the Plan, or lack of access to providers experienced in dealing with the Enrollee’s health care needs. Enrollee requests for disenrollment must be directed to the Division either orally or in writing. The effective date of any approved disenrollment will be no later than the first day of the second month following the month in which the Enrollee or the Plan files the request with the Division.

Open Enrollment Period Open Enrollment is a period of time each year when you and your eligible dependents, if family coverage is offered, may enroll for healthcare coverage or make changes to your existing healthcare coverage. The effective date will be on the first day of your employer’s plan year. A Special Enrollment Period is a time outside the yearly Open Enrollment Period when you can sign up for health coverage. You and your eligible dependents may enroll for coverage through a Special Enrollment Period by providing required enrollment information within thirty (30) days of the following events: • you get married, the coverage effective is the first day of the month following your marriage. • you have a child born to the family, the coverage effective date is the date of birth. • you have a child placed for adoption with your family, the coverage effective date is the date of placement. Special note about enrolling your newborn child: You must notify your employer of the birth of a newborn child and pay the required premium within thirty -one (31) days of the date of birth. Otherwise, the newborn will not be covered beyond the thirty -one (31) day period. This plan does not cover services for a newborn child who remains hospitalized after thirty-one (31) days and has not been enrolled in this plan. If you are enrolled in an Individual Plan when your child is born, the coverage for thirty- one (31) days described above means your plan becomes a Family Plan for as long as your child is covered. Applicable Family Plan deductibles and maximum out-of-pocket expenses may apply. In addition, if you lose coverage from another plan, you may enroll or add your eligible dependents for coverage through a Special Enrollment Period by providing required enrollment information within thirty (30) days following the date you lost coverage. Coverage will begin on the first day of the month following the date your coverage under the other plan ended. In order to be eligible, the loss of coverage must be the result of: • legal separation or divorce; • death of the covered policy holder; • termination of employment or reduction in the number of hours of employment; • the covered policy holder becomes entitled to Medicare; • loss of dependent child status under the plan; • employer contributions to such coverage are being terminated; • COBRA benefits are exhausted; or • your employer is undergoing Chapter 11 proceedings. You are also eligible for a Special Enrollment Period if you and/or your eligible dependent lose eligibility for Medicaid or a Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), or if you and/or your eligible dependent become eligible for premium assistance for Medicaid or a (CHIP). In order to enroll, you must provide required information within sixty (60) days following the change in eligibility. Coverage will begin on the first day of the month following our receipt of your application. In addition, you may be eligible for a Special Enrollment Period if you provide required information within thirty (30) days of one of the following events: • you or your dependent lose minimum essential coverage (unless that loss of coverage is due to non-payment of premium or your voluntary termination of coverage); • you adequately demonstrate to us that another health plan substantially violated a material provision of its contract with you; • you make a permanent move to Rhode Island: or • your enrollment or non-enrollment in a qualified health plan is unintentional, inadvertent, or erroneous and is the result of error, misrepresentation, or inaction by us or an agent of HSRI or the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
