Ensures assistance with submitting an application for possible ongoing Medicaid coverage. Based on self-attestation. MAD Certified PEDs determine eligibility. If screened correctly, applicant will most likely be approved for ongoing Medicaid coverage. Individuals may only receive one PE approval in a 12 month period (or one PE per pregnancy).
Begins on the day the PE is granted by PED. Retroactive coverage not available during PE span Ends on the last day of the following month unless ongoing Medicaid application is submitted. PE will continue until final determination has been made for ongoing eligibility. PE coverage ends on the last day of the month that final determination is made.
