All programs require verification of certain information. This means clients may need to provide documentation from a third party or other source that shows proof the client’s reported information is correct.
Inconsistent Information is data or other information that does not match the information provided by the client or other information on file.
Verification is the process and evidence used to establish accuracy or completeness of information from a client, third party, or authorized representative. Verification is also referred to as proof or documentation.
This chapter provides information on:
l What must be verified. See Mandatory Verifications.
l Inconsistent Information. Verify other information to determine eligibility if the information the client gives is inconsistent or questionable.
l Documentation that may be used as verification. See Verification Documentation.
l Helping clients obtain verification.
l The time period the client has to provide verifications. See Verification Timelines.
l The length of time verifications must be retained. See Verification Retention.
Deny or close health care for people who refuse or deliberately fail to help verify information.
