Does anyone complete temp Medicaid applications? If so, do you also do MPW applications? I have been told that if 90% of the temporary Medicaid applications don’t complete the MPW application I could lose my certification to do temporary Medicaid applications.
I do the temporary Medicaid here at Franklin County Health Department. I fill out the online portion for the online portion of the application for the patient if they 1.) have time 2.) are not on Medicaid 3.) no kiddos on Medicaid.
If the client has one of the above 3 I suggest them to call the FSD to add themselves to the already existing case. I have had no problems with the above procedures, and I have been doing Temps here for about 15 months.
Should you need anything further, please give me a shout

You are welcome to call me at 573 581-1332. We complete temp Medicaid applications here in Audrain County. Diane BakerAre you talking about Missouri Pregnant Women? We complete the temp Medicaid application for pregnant women only. It is our understanding the woman must be 1). pregnant, 2)Not on Medicaid, and 3)Not been on PE in the last 12 months or within the current pregnancy, to be eligible.
We do Temp Medicaid for pregnant women,(Webster County Health Unit) but also Show me healthy baby (if they are over the financial guidelines for Presumptive) If they are pregnant and on uninsured Womans Health services (ME code 89) then we do a Medes 1 with the financial paper work from the Presumptive packet to add the pregnancy and Medes 6 to add a new baby.. I hope this doesn’t sound confusing.
We (WIC Certifiers/Clerks) attended a webinar that trained us on how to complete temp Medicaid applications. We check them on emomed to see if they are active first, then if they aren’t – depending on what coding they have – we have them fill out a PE-1SSL paper application. Upon completion of that form we fill out the PE-3 TEMP form, PE-2 Worksheet (2 pgs), and the MEDES Report a Pregnancy form. We give them a copy of the PE-3 and an information page we have on Application for Presumptive Eligibility to take with them until they receive a card from the final insurance company, and have them follow up with state in 48 hours. We then fax the PE forms, MEDES Report a Pregnancy, and if needed a Change of Name, or Change of Address over to state. We do not do an online application (not sure what that is).
We have charts that give us income levels to see if they qualify for TEMP or SMHB. We also have charts that explain all the codings for emomed – so we know if they need to do a full application or just a Report a Pregnancy.
I don’t know what a Medes 1 or Medes 6 are…I wrote what the bottom right of our forms say. They might be the same thing.
I believe we were told we had to attend that webinar before we could do any temp apps. Maybe that is what you are thinking by loosing your certification.
Sorry this was so long
Brianna ~ Medes (form) 1 and Medes (form) 6 is the same thing as what your talking about 🙂 We do the same process.
Nancy ~ I do remember during the webinar Debbie I think was her name said that we could loose our certification if they don’t sign up on Pregnancy Medicaid but my admin said “We have no control if they do or not” We just tell them they have until the end of the next month to sign up or the Temp Medicaid will stop and show them the website and phone number and hand them the app for this.Scott County Health Dept. only completes the Temporary Medicaid Applications or the Report a Pregnancy forms. We do not do the full Medicaid application for Pregnant Women (MPW) or for children. We were also told during the webinar about losing our certification if 90% of the women didn’t apply for MPW. It’s highly unlikely this would happen since we all have taken over the job that Family Support Division used to do. We are the only ones in our county that complete Temporary Medicaid applications. We do not have the staff or the time to complete the MPW application so we give the client a form that shows them how to apply online, by phone, or where to go for paper applications.
