Sec. 3.

(a) An applicant's or member's income eligibility shall be determined by the following procedures:

(1) Determine the applicant's or member's income in accordance with section 2 of this rule.

(2) Subtract the monthly income standard that is equal to three hundred fifty percent (350%) of the federal poverty guideline for a family size of one (1), divided by twelve (12) and rounded up to the next whole dollar.

(3) If the resulting amount in subdivision (2) is zero dollars ($0) or less than zero dollars ($0), the applicant or member is eligible for Medicaid for employees with disabilities. If the resulting amount is greater than zero dollars ($0), the applicant or member is not eligible.

(b) The income standard referenced in subsection (a)(2) shall be increased annually beginning the second month following the month in which the federal poverty guidelines are published in the Federal Register.

(c) The following procedures are used to determine the amount of income to be paid to an institution for an applicant or member who has been determined eligible under subsection (a) and who is residing in a Title XIX certified health care facility:

(1) Determine the applicant's or member's total income that is not excluded by federal statute. Total income includes amounts deducted in the eligibility determination under subsection (a).

(2) Subtract the minimum personal needs allowance specified in IC 12-15-7-2.

(3) Subtract an amount for increased personal needs as allowed under Indiana's approved Medicaid state plan. The increased personal needs allowance includes, but is not limited to, court ordered guardianship fees paid to an institutionalized applicant's or member's legal guardian, not to exceed thirty-five dollars ($35) per month. Guardianship fees include all services and expenses required to perform the duties of a guardian, as well as any attorney's fees for which the guardian is liable.

(4) Subtract the amount of health insurance premiums.

(5) Subtract an amount for expenses incurred for necessary medical or remedial care recognized by state law but not covered under the state plan, subject to any reasonable limits set forth in Indiana's approved Medicaid state plan.

(6) The resulting amount is the amount by which the Medicaid payment to the facility shall be reduced.
