Medicaid will often deny Foster Care Agency claims if they do not have the proper documentation, proof of US Citizenship, if data is mismatched or information is incorrect.
Among these people that Foster Care Agencies are often denied Medicaid are; homeless people, newborn infants, runaway children, undocumented citizens and even children and families who are natural disaster survivors and had lost all of their important documentation, as well as their homes and all of their other possessions. CHF is asking the CMS to make an exception when it comes to these people who have survived such natural disasters as Hurricane Katrina and Rita, for instance.
A child who is born to a US Citizen woman who is covered by Medicaid is automatically enrolled in Medicaid. However if a child is born to an undocumented immigrant, the child is not granted automatic enrollment, according to CMS guidelines. This lack of paperwork is one of the reasons a child would be denied Medicaid by a Foster Care Agency, even though the child was born in the US and is technically a US Citizen by Nature of being born in this country. CHF or the Childrens Health Fund is recommending that CMS considers changing this policy to grant a newborn in America automatic Medicaid enrollment.
