1.0 INTRODUCTION TO THE NEW YORK STATE MEDICAID ELIGIBILITY VERIFICATION SYSTEM (Rev. 10/03)

New York State operates a Medicaid Eligibility Verification System (MEVS) as a method for providers to verify client eligibility prior to provision of Medicaid services. The Identification Card does not constitute full authorization for provision of medical services and supplies. A client must present an official Common Benefit Identification Card to the provider when requesting services. The verification process through MEVS must be completed to determine the client’s eligibility for Medicaid services and supplies. A provider not verifying eligibility prior to provision of services will risk the possibility of nonpayment for those services. In some instances, a provider not obtaining a service authorization prior to submitting a claim will be denied payment.

The verification process through MEVS can be accessed using one of the following methods:

- the MEVS Terminal (VeriFone).

- a telephone verification process (Audio Response Unit).

- alternate access methods: (CPU-CPU link, batch transmission, PC-Host link and ePACES).

Information available through MEVS will provide you with:

- The eligibility status for a Medicaid client for a specific date (today or prior to today).

- The county having financial responsibility for the client (used to determine the contact office for prior approval and prior authorization.)

- Any Medicare, third party insurance or HMO coverage that a client may have for the date of service.

- Any limitations on coverage which may exist for the client through Utilization Threshold (UT) or Post and Clear (PC) programs and the necessary service authorizations, if applicable.

- Any restrictions to primary providers or exception codes, which further clarify a client's eligibility.

- Co-payment information.

- Dispensing Validation Numbers (DVS) for certain Drugs, Durable Medical Equipment, and Dental Services. (Not available via telephone access.)

- The ability to verify or cancel a previously obtained Service Authorization (SA) (not available via ARU).

The above information is not available on the Common Benefit Identification Card issued to the client.

MEVS is convenient and easy to use; it is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

MEVS is accurate; it provides current eligibility status information for all Medicaid clients and is updated on a daily basis.

MEVS is responsive; verification information is given in clear, concise and understandable messages.

MEVS should result in a reduction of claims pending or denied due to Medicaid eligibility problems.

This manual is designed to familiarize you with MEVS. The manual contains different sections discussing the Common Benefit Identification Card, the verification equipment, procedures for verification, a description of eligibility responses, definitions of codes, and descriptions of alternate access methods.

ALTERNATE ACCESS TO MEVS (Rev. 02/05)

Additional alternative methods of access allow providers to use their own equipment to access MEVS. The following is a brief description of these alternate access methods.

· ePACES

Refer to ePACES on http://www.emedny.org/HIPAA/SupportDocs/ePACES.html

· CPU-CPU LINK

This method is for providers who want to link their computer system to the MEVS contractor's computer system via a dedicated communication line. Upon receiving a MEVS verification request, the MEVS contractor sends back a response within seconds.

CPU-CPU link is suggested for service bureaus and high volume (5,000 to 10,000 transactions per day) providers.

· eMedNY eXchange

This method allows users to transfer files from their computer via a web-based interface. Users are assigned an “inbox” and are able to send and receive transaction files in an email-like fashion. Transaction files are “attached” and sent to eMedNY for processing. Responses are delivered to the user’s inbox, and can be downloaded to the user’s computer.

· Batch Transmission

This method is the standard process for batch authorization transmissions. FTP allows users to transfer files from their computer to another computer (upload) or from another computer to their computer (download). Each batch file transmission sent to the eMedNY contractor is required to be completed within two hours. Any transmission exceeding two hours will be disconnected.

· PC-HOST LINK

This method requires a PC, a dial up modem, and a specific message format. Verification requests are transmitted to the MEVS contractor one transaction at a time. Verification responses are returned within seconds.

The PC-Host method is suggested for low volume (under 500 transactions per month) and medium volume (500-2,000 transactions per month) providers. It is also recommended for providers who want to capture Medicaid information electronically to combine with billing and claims processing.

For further information about alternate access methods and the approval process, please call 1-800-343-9000.

3.2 Telephone Verification Using the Access Number or Medicaid Number (CIN) (Rev. 10/03)

The access number is a thirteen-digit numeric identifier on the Common Benefit Identification Card that includes the sequence number. The easiest and fastest verification method is by using the access number.

The Medicaid number (CIN) is an eight-digit alpha/numeric identifier on the Common Benefit Identification Card. The Medicaid number (CIN) can also be used to verify a client’s eligibility. You must convert the eight-digit identifier to a number with eleven-digits. The three letters are the only characters converted in the number. You should refer to the chart below when converting the Medicaid number (CIN). For example:

A D 12345 Z = eight-digit Medicaid number (CIN)

21 31 12345 12 = becomes an eleven-digit number

For this example, the chart indicates that the letter A = 21, D = 31 and Z = 12. Replace the letters A, D and Z with the numbers 21, 31 and 12 respectively. The converted number is 21311234512

ALPHA CONVERSION CHART
	A	=	21	N	=	62
	B	=	22	O	=	63
	C	=	23	P	=	71
