Rule 23-100-5.21 - CHIP Agency ErrorsA. The Division of Medicaid is responsible for ensuring payment for eligible beneficiaries. Providing timely CHIP benefits is a special concern because, unlike Medicaid, the CHIP effective dates are determined relative to monthly processing deadlines which do not allow the regional office to take retroactive or corrective action when an error is discovered for a prior month.B. When CHIP agency errors occur, resolution comes through a local or state hearing request.C. If a fair hearing is requested on a CHIP termination or denial and agency error was not involved, the procedures described previously in this section will be followed based on the type of hearing requested, i.e., local or state.23 Miss.
