03.45.30.10 - Presumptive Eligibility Providers for MA-BC |
Archived: June 1, 2016 (Previous Versions) |
Providers who participate in the Sage Screening Program may choose to register with DHS to become presumptive eligibility providers for Medical Assistance for Breast and Cervical Cancer (MA-BC). These health care providers have signed agreements (see DHS-4786) with DHS to conduct presumptive eligibility determinations for women who are screened through the program and who need treatment for breast cancer or cervical cancer, including precancerous conditions.
Authorized providers will approve presumptive MA-BC eligibility for a minimum of 30 days from the application date for Minnesota women who meet all of the following:
l Have been screened through the Sage Screening Program and need treatment for breast or cervical cancer, including precancerous conditions and early stage cancer.
l Have had one of the following Sage Screening Program forms completed by their provider:
n Enrollment Form.
n Return Visit Form.
n Colposcopy Program.
Note: These Minnesota Department of Health forms (completed by Sage providers' staff) do not have DHS form numbers.
l Are under age 65.
l Have no health coverage.
The following is a list of providers who are currently authorized by DHS to grant presumptive eligibility for MA-BC. If you receive an application from a provider who is not on the list, follow your agency's procedures to submit a policy question to HealthQuest.
