Buy-In Reminder

The Buy In Deletion Report will be available to eligibility staff on the 14th of each month.  The Buy In file will be sent to CMS early on the morning of the 21st.  The Buy In Deletion report that is received on 04/14/2021 will include all cases that lost eligibility 02/28/2021.

The removal of the deletion records by Gainwell Technologies will need to be completed by 5:00 PM on 04/20/2021.  Any cases that need the deletion removed from the CMS file, will need to have an email sent to the Gainwell Technologies Buy In team no later than 2:00 PM on 04/20/2021 so they can be manually processed by the 5:00 PM deadline.  The requests can be sent on a daily basis as the report is worked.  Gainwell Technologies cannot guarantee that the manual processing will be completed before the CMS file is sent if the manual deletion requests are received after 2:00 PM on 04/20/2021.  

If a deletion was manually removed from the CMS file last month, and the eligibility for that member is still not up to date in the MMIS at the point the deletion file is sent to CMS this month, that deletion will go to CMS even though that member is only listed on the Buy In Deletion report once.

If a new buy in case is being approved on or between 04/14/2021 and 04/20/2021 and qualifies for immediate buy in, please send an email to the buy in team so it can be considered for manual accretion to CMS on the file.  The member must be known to the MMIS to be manually added to the buy in file.  ksxix-buyin@dxc.com.

Child Care Reviews due 5/2021

Child Care Reviews were extended for March, April, and May of 2020. This was accomplished by extending those household’s family plans and leaving their customer reporting record in the past.  In order to send these households their Review for their respective month, a data fix will run this weekend to mail these households a Review. When the Reviews are received, staff need to create a new family plan for the new review period. If a Review form is not returned, then the case will close.

Non-Medical Processing Deadlines

DCF Processing Deadlines – Year 2021 have been updated and can be found on the DCF Intranet under Policy and Procedures and in the KEES Non-Medical User Manual.
