9 Colo. Code Regs. § 2503-3.341

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 24, December 25, 2024
Section 9 CCR 2503-3.341 - OVERVIEW

Each individual member of a household that applies for medical assistance must first be screened for eligibility under the State Medicaid/Health First Colorado Program. If the individual is determined ineligible for Medicaid/Health First Colorado, then a determination of eligibility under the Refugee Medical Assistance (RMA) Program must be made. A "household" is defined as a single adult with no children, a married couple, a single parent with minor children, or a married couple with minor children.

Any individual of a household who is not eligible for Medicaid/Health First Colorado shall be considered for Refugee Medical Assistance (RMA). RMA is limited to the time period of twelve months after receiving a status that is eligible for CRSP services and benefits (refer to section 3.330 for verification of status for program eligibility).

Persons applying for Refugee Medical Assistance will use the State prescribed application for Medicaid/Health First Colorado. Applicants will first be screened for State Medicaid/Health First Colorado programs in accordance with the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing's Medical Assistance Manual (10 CCR 2505-10). Copies of Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing's Medical Assistance Manual are available for public inspection by contacting the Colorado State Refugee Coordinator during regular business hours at the Colorado Department of Human Services, Colorado Refugee Services Program, 1575 Sherman Street, Denver, Colorado 80203; or at a state publications depository library. No later editions or amendments are incorporated.

In accordance with federal law, in providing Refugee Medical Assistance to refugees, Colorado will provide at least the same services in the same manner and to the same extent as under the state's Medicaid/Health First Colorado program.
