Medical Assistance (MA) Status Changes

MA Closure

MA commonly closes because required paperwork and documentation have not been submitted. If at any time MA is closed, the Participant will become ineligible for services and PICS suspends services and payments until MA is reopened. Please contact your county financial worker immediately to resolve MA eligibility.

Other MA information

Hours and/or expenses for reimbursement cannot be submitted for a date when the Participant is admitted to a hospital, nursing home, long-term care or residential facility.

Switching Program Funds

When switching between Consumer Support Grant (CSG) and Consumer Directed Community Supports (CDCS), complete the following:

1. Inform your Service Coordinator.
2. Your Service Coordinator will verify the switch with the Lead Agency Representative and request a revised Service Agreement.
3. Once verified, PICS Human Resources will notify you if additional employment paperwork is needed and your Service Coordinator will update the budget plan based on the date of the switch.
