Medicaid/MediPass is a federal and state government assistance program which covers the cost of medications and other medical services for patients with AIDS. If you are eligible
for Florida Medicaid, you will be enrolled in a Medicaid managed care
program known as MediPass and will be assigned a MediPass Provider. All
MediPass enrollees receive a letter from the Agency for Health Care Administration
(AHCA) informing them to choose a MediPass Provider. In order for you
to receive care at MCHD EIS clinics and receive referrals to other medical
providers, it is necessary for you to choose the Monroe County Health
Department (MCHD) as your MediPass Primary Care Provider. Referrals to
other physicians, hospital admissions, emergency visits, or diagnostic
testing require authorization by your MediPass Provider. Someone is on
call 24 hours a day,7 days a week to give MediPass authorizations. Regardless
of the physician who sees you in the EIS program, your MediPass Provider
is the Monroe County Health Department. |
