Section 8.309.4.10 - ALTERNATIVE BENEFITS PLAN GENERAL BENEFITS FOR ABP-EXEMPT ELIGIBLE RECIPIENTS (ABP-EXEMPT)

An ABP eligible recipient who self-declares he or she has a qualifying condition is evaluated by the MAD utilization review (UR) contractor for determination of whether he or she meets the qualifying condition. An ABP-exempt eligible recipient may select to no longer utilize his or her ABP benefits package. Instead, the ABP-exempt eligible recipient would then utilize the standard medicaid state plan benefit package. See Section 19 of this rule for detailed descriptions of the standard medicaid state plan benefits. Long term care in a nursing facility (NF), mi via and community benefits are available to an eligible ABP-exempt recipient when all conditions for accessing those services are met.
