Section 210-RICR-50-00-4.11 - Renewal of Medicaid LTSS EligibilityA. LTSS Medicaid financial and general eligibility must be re-evaluated at least once a year. This annual review is now referred to as a renewal. Federal regulations [ 42 C.F.R. 435.916(b)] require these annual reviews to consider only those eligibility factors that are subject to change and, to the full extent feasible, utilize electronic data sources for verification purposes. Accordingly, LTSS Medicaid renewals require beneficiaries to review information from the IES on key general and financial eligibility factors that has been updated by internal and external data sources, and report any inaccuracies or changes. The requirements for general and financial eligibility renewals for Medicaid LTSS are conducted in accordance with §40-00-2.7 of this Title.B. Clinical and functional eligibility re-evaluations are also required, but may be performed annually or less frequently depending on the expected scope and duration of the need for LTSS. The requirements for clinical and functional eligibility re-evaluations are conducted in accordance with Part 5 of this Subchapter.210 R.I. Code R. 210-RICR-50-00-4.11
