Section 210-RICR-30-05-2.7 - Retroactive Coverage

A. Requests for retroactive eligibility are evaluated at the time of application, but must not delay a decision on prospective eligibility. Retroactive eligibility is not available to MACC groups enrolled in RIte Care. Foster and adoption subsidy children in Non-MAGI coverage groups are eligible for retroactive coverage if eligible for SSI. Retroactive coverage is also available to SSI-related eligible individuals and SSI-related medically needy flex-test cases. If eligibility exists, retroactive payment for services is on a fee-for-service basis and does not exceed a three-month time period.
