Why would a Nursing Facility provider receive a 951 rejection if the member had always been eligible for NF Medicaid since entering the facility?

A 951 Edit Code means the member was not eligible for Medicaid on the date of service. The member and/or responsible party for the member might not have completed the annual Medicaid eligibility review. Inform the nursing facility caller to contact the member’s eligibility caseworker.

Will the entities in each screening category stay the same?
