24.9 Notice to Fiscal Agent Concerning Any Remaining Deductible

When the memberA recipient of Medicaid; formerly referred to as a "client." receives a medical bill that is equal to or greater than the amount he or she still owes on the deductible, he or she can be certified for Medicaid.  He or she must pay the part of the bill that equals the deductible.  Medicaid will consider the remainder of the bill for payment.

To make sure that Medicaid does not pay what the member still owes on the deductible, send a Medicaid Remaining Deductible Update (F-10109) to the fiscal agent indicating the amount of the bill that the member owes.  The fiscal agent subtracts this amount from the bill and Medicaid pays the rest.

Fill out the Medicaid Remaining Deductible Update (F-10109) only if:

A Medicaid certified provider has provided the billed services.

The person, having met the deductible, is being certified.  If he or she is not being certified, Medicaid will not pay any of the bill.

The date of the bill is the date the deductible was met.  Since the member is not eligible until he or she has met the deductible, he or she still owes for all bills prior to that date.

If more than one bill was incurred on the date the deductible was met, send additional Medicaid Remaining Deductible Update (F-10109) forms for any other bills for which the member would be responsible.
