  10. How to Check Medicaid Eligibility You do not want to waste your time searching for a student to bill for if they aren’t eligible • Select “View Student Information” • Type in a unique ID (i.e. last name, SSN..etc) • Select the student’s name • Click “Next” • Click “Medicaid History” and “Search” • Look at Medicaid “effective date” & “end date” columns • If the date you performed assessment is outside of that range, you do not bill. • If the date you performed assessment is within that range, you may proceed to “Add a Visit From Scratch”

  11. This is where you choose which unique ID you have to search for the student with.

  12. How to Bill Assessment • Click the “Visit” tab to bring you back to the “home screen” • Click “Assessment/ Psychological Testing” (middle box) • “Add a Visit From Scratch” • The next screen will look very similar to “View Student Information,” but you can read the top text to verify it is different • Enter a unique ID (i.e. Last name, SSN…etc) • Search • Select the student’s name • Click “Next” • The next screens will look just like the ones you’ve seen before when you’ve billed assessments.

  13. This is where you choose which unique ID you have to search for the student with.

Questions • What do I do if I can’t find the student under the “View Student Information” module? • Email Sheena Joslyn student name, DOB, SSN/Student ID. • Sheena will check Medicaid eligibility & correspond with you via email/phone. • Why did this change? • MFCS/Houston’s job is to keep us in compliance with State/Federal requirements: • The student’s who are tagged with the service (i.e. Speech) will only come up to an SLP or SLPA assigned to campus A • Because we do not tag a student for Assessment or Psych. ,they won’t come up under your qualifications any longer.
