23.6 Client Eligibility

The provider determines a client's eligibility for hearing aid services by any of the following:

•Asking to see the client's current Medicaid eligibility form (possession of a current Medicaid eligibility form with a check mark in the hearing aid box indicates the client's eligibility for the month).

•Using the Automated Inquiry System (AIS) to determine eligibility for Medicaid and for a hearing aid.

•Verifying client eligibility on the TMHP website at www.tmhp.com.

Important: AIS provides claim status, client eligibility, benefit limitations, and current check amount.

Refer to: "Eligibility Verification" .
