Transcription of CHECKING ELIGIBILITY & PARTICIPANT IDENTIFICATION …
1 CHECKING ELIGIBILITY & PARTICIPANT IDENTIFICATION TO ACCESS EVS Web Interactive: A web ELIGIBILITY request window is available to approved providers and other agencies via the PROMISe Provider Portal. Log on at Batch Inquiry: ELIGIBILITY information can be requested by submitting batch ELIGIBILITY inquiries to the electronic bulletin board (EBS). Providers can use purchased software, certifi ed in-house software, or the PROMISe Provider Electronic Solutions (PES) software. More information and certifi cation information can be found at VAN: Value Added Network (VAN) vendors collect requests for ELIGIBILITY information in a real-time interactive processing mode and interface with the PROMISe EVS system.
2 Providers will need to contract directly with an approved VAN submitter to use this access method. Telephone: The Automated Voice Response System (AVRS) accepts requests for and returns ELIGIBILITY information over a toll-free phone number. Using a touch-tone phone, please call ELIGIBILITYThe PROMISe ELIGIBILITY Verifi cation System (EVS) enables you to determine a PARTICIPANT s Medical Assistance ELIGIBILITY , as well as the PARTICIPANT s scope of coverage. Do not assume that a PARTICIPANT is eligible for Medical Assistance because he/she has an ACCESS or CHC health plan ID card.
3 A PARTICIPANT s ELIGIBILITY is subject to change; therefore, it is vital to check EVS to verify a recipient s ELIGIBILITY each time services are provided. The information in EVS is refl ective of the current information that the state has available. At times, resources become known retrospectively at which point a post-payment recovery may be initiated by the managed care organization (MCO), as Medicaid is always the payor of last resort. It is important to always ask participants if they have additional HEALTHCHOICES WILL NOT CHANGE A PARTICIPANT S MEDICARE COVERAGEEVS EXAMPLE #1 This PARTICIPANT is in a nursing facility and eligible under the long-term care Medical Assistance category.
