Abstract: Identification of sources of third party insurance liable for medical care or services for Medicaid beneficiaries, which could be used to reduce Medicaid costs, is required under 42 U.S.C. 1396a(a)(25). Medicaid State agencies are mandated under 42 CFR 433.136-.139 to obtain this information on Medicaid applications and redeterminations as a condition of Medicaid eligibility. States are permitted to enter into agreements with the Commissioner of Social Security to make Medicaid eligibility determinations for aged, blind and disabled beneficiaries in those States. Applications for and redeterminations of SSI eligibility in jurisdictions with such agreements are also applications and redeterminations of Medicaid eligibility. Under these agreements, SSA obtains third party liability information using form SSA-8019 and provides that information to the State agencies which provide Medicaid under the terms of an approved plan in Title XIX of the Social Security Act. The Medicaid State agencies then use the information provided to attempt to bill any third parties liable for medical care, support or services for a beneficiary to guarantee that Medicaid remains the payer of last resort. The respondents are SSI claimants and beneficiaries.
