Section 210-RICR-30-00-1.2 - Scope and PurposeA. The purpose of this Rule is to establish the Medicaid Affordable Care Coverage (MACC) groups and the eligibility pathways for individuals who share one (1) or more of their characteristics and are exempt from MAGI and/or the provisions for the Integrated Health Care Coverage (IHCC) groups under Chapter 40 of this Title.B. In Rhode Island, CHIP eligibility is administered as an expansion through the Medicaid program rather than through a separate State program as the principal distinction for most eligibility pathways relates to claiming of Title XIX versus Title XXI Federal financial participation rates. The exceptions, as indicated in this Rule, are the CHIP-only eligibility pathways for lawfully present qualified non- citizen children up to the age of nineteen (19) and qualified and non-qualified pregnant women who meet the income limits set forth herein.210 R.I.
