Section 210-RICR-40-00-1.7 - The State's Integrated Eligibility System (IES)A. With the implementation of the State's IES, all IHCC group members have the option of applying on-line, using a self-service portal, submitting a completed paper application, or in-person by visiting one of the field offices of the RI Department of Human Services (DHS). The IES also allows for the following important changes to the application and eligibility determination process: 1. Coverage Group Options - To maximize choice and ease of access, the State's IES evaluates all applicants for Medicaid health coverage using multiple eligibility pathways, within and across the major coverage group categories.2. Streamlined Document Submission and Verification - The State's IES created the capacity for applicants and beneficiaries to upload important documents and verification materials on-line as well through more traditional means. The State is also building into the system access to a broader array of electronic data sources for verifying and updating critical eligibility information related to income and assets.3. Modified Passive Eligibility Renewal - The eligibility renewal process for IHCC group members has been reformed to ease the burden on beneficiaries. The State's new passive renewal process requires beneficiaries to review the eligibility information in their accounts, including updates through electronic data sources, and notify the agency within a specified time period of any changes or discrepancies that may affect the continuation of coverage. The renewal process and variations across coverage groups are set forth in Part 2 of this Subchapter.210 R.I. Code R. 210-RICR-40-00-1.7
