INARF has heard from many members about issues with individuals' eligibility recently and have received the following communications from DFR:

If the individual is unable to independently address their concerns regarding their Medicaid Eligibility; the Family, Provider, or the Case Manager assisting the individual must be designated as an Authorized Representative for Medicaid.
If you have specific case(s) that are in question, please let me know and I will have someone to review the case(s) in question.
