03.05.10 - MinnesotaCare Major Program Eligibility Type (MPET) |
Archived: June 1, 2016 (Previous Versions) |
All MinnesotaCare enrollees are assigned to a major program and an eligibility type. The combination of the major program and the eligibility type is called the MPET. MMIS uses the MPET to assign the correct benefit set and Federal Financial Participation (FFP) amount to each MinnesotaCare enrollee.
This section explains how to determine the MPET. For further information about system coding, see the MMIS User Manual.
MinnesotaCare has five major programs. MMIS uses a system code for each major program. The major program and eligibility type codes help MMIS identify the correct benefit set and the FFP amount for each enrollee.
To assign the correct major program, first determine the applicable eligibility group. Next, determine if the applicant or enrollee is a citizen or a noncitizen who qualifies for federal funding. Assign the applicant or enrollee to one of the following major programs:
l Major program LL.
Children under 21 and pregnant women who are not incarcerated
l Major program KK.
Children under 21 and pregnant women who become incarcerated while enrolled in MinnesotaCare.
l Major program FF.
Parents and relative caretakers who are either:
n U.S. citizens, or
n Noncitizens who qualify for federally funded health care coverage.
l Major program JJ.
n All legal guardians and foster parents, and
n Parents and relative caretakers who are noncitizens who do not qualify for federally funded health care coverage.
l Major program BB.
All adults without children and people requesting eligibility through the MinnesotaCare for Volunteer Firefighters and Ambulance Attendants (MVFAA).
The eligibility type is an alpha-numeric system code that further identifies the enrollee, allowing MMIS to correctly assign benefit sets and federal funding amounts. To assign the eligibility type you will need to know the enrollee’s eligibility group and income.
Note: For children you will also need to know whether the child meets the Children’s Health Plan exception. Children meet the exception if they were originally enrolled in the Children's Health Plan (CHP) on or before June 30, 1993, and have maintained continuous enrollment.
The MinnesotaCare eligibility types are:
l Children 0 to age 21 (major program LL or KK).
n I1 - Infants to age 2 with income at or below 200% FPG.
n I2 - Infants to age 2 with income above 200% FPG.
n C1 - Children ages 2 to 21:
m with income at or below 200% FPG, or
m who meet the Children's Health Plan exception described above.
n C2 - Children ages 2 to 21 with income above 200% FPG.
l Pregnant women (major program LL or KK).
n P1 - Pregnant women under age 21 with income at or below 200% FPG.
n P2 - Pregnant women who are:
m under age 21 with income above 200% FPG, or
m age 21 and over.
l Non-pregnant adults with children (major program FF or JJ).
n A2 - Non-pregnant adults with children who meet the major program criteria for:
m Program FF, and have income above 215% and at or below 275% FPG.
m Program JJ, and have income above 215% and at or below 275% FPG.
n M2 - Non-pregnant adults with children who meet the major program criteria for:
m Program FF, and have income at or below 215% FPG.
m Program JJ, and have income at or below 215% FPG.
l Adults without children (major program BB).
n M1 - Volunteer Firefighters and Ambulance Attendants.
n M5 - Non-pregnant adults without children who:
m are U.S. citizens or noncitizens whose immigration status qualifies them for FFP.
m are not incarcerated.
m have income of more than 75% FPG and at or below 250% FPG.

m noncitizens whose immigration status does not qualify them for FFP.

See MinnesotaCare for Adults without Children for more information.
Note: The numeral in the eligibility type refers to the ”group number” (not to be confused with the eligibility group). The group number is not important on its own, except as a shorthand way to describe children who are exempt from some insurance barriers, e.g., Group One children.
