Section 450.107 - Eligible Members and the MassHealth Card(A)Eligibility Determination. MassHealth eligibility is determined in accordance with 130 CMR 501.000 through 130 CMR 522.000. Eligibility for the EAEDC Program is determined pursuant to 106 CMR 320.000 through 321.000, 701.000 through 701.600, 705.000 through 705.950, and 706.000 through 706.710.(B)Eligibility Verification System. The MassHealth agency uses the Eligibility Verification System (EVS) for day-specific eligibility verification, and to communicate a member's MassHealth eligibility, coverage type, managed care status, restrictions, and other insurance information to health-care providers.(C)MassHealth Card. The MassHealth agency issues a plastic identification card for most MassHealth members. The MassHealth card contains information necessary to access EVS. Members for whom the MassHealth agency pays health insurance premiums only may not have a MassHealth card.(D)Temporary MassHealth Eligibility Card. When necessary, the MassHealth agency or the Department of Transitional Assistance will issue a temporary MassHealth card to the cardholder for use until a plastic MassHealth card is issued. The temporary MassHealth card shows dates of eligibility, service restrictions, and other insurance information. If a discrepancy occurs between information given on a temporary MassHealth card and by EVS, the information on the temporary card prevails. To be paid for a covered service that was provided based on information given on a temporary card, a provider must produce a copy of the temporary card, and have otherwise met all other prerequisites for payment.(E)Provisional Eligibility. The MassHealth agency will provide eligibility while the applicant provides to the MassHealth agency any outstanding verification, in accordance with 130 CMR 502.003: Verification of Eligibility Factors.Amended by Mass Register Issue 1341, eff. 6/16/2017.Amended by Mass Register Issue S1345, eff. 8/11/2017.Amended by Mass Register Issue 1354, eff. 12/18/2017.
