WEB TOOL: CHECK ELIGIBILITY

Is the Web Tool updated daily?

Yes, the Web Tool is updated every night.

What if a claim is created, but the beneficiary says that he/she no longer has the insurance on file?

If a beneficiary no longer has the insurance policy that is seen on the Web Tool, the provider can refer the beneficiary to their eligibility counselor/worker, or complete the Health Insurance Information Referral Form (HIIRF) to update the beneficiary’s third party payer information. Making a change to a policy that already exists in the Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS) takes five days. The HIIRF Form can be faxed to 803-252-0870.

What is an MHN referral number?

If your service requires a referral, the MHN gives you an authorization number.

When should eligibility be checked?

You should check before providing services.

Will MCO info be available via the Web Tool?

A provider can verify Managed Care Organization enrollment on the eligibility section of the Web Tool under the “Beneficiary Special Program Data” section.

Do I have to request another Login and Password if more than one person wants to use the Web Tool?

What form needs to be completed for access to the Web Tool?

When I try to change my Web Tool password, it keeps saying I haven’t met the criteria. What should I do?

Would you ever get locked out of the Web Tool if you put your password in wrong?
