Planned Corrective Action MDHHS has been working since 2018 to ensure correct eligibility classifications in Bridges at the time of payment and a system change was implemented in April 2021 to correct the issue. All new cases are correctly routed. MDHHS originally expected to have all cases corrected at the end of the PHE unwind (July 2024), however, due to some of the mitigation strategies that CMS developed to ensure children did not lose eligibility, not all cases had their coding updated when they were renewed. MDHHS expects that all existing cases will be updated by May 2025, as MDHHS completes renewals for existing cases. MDHHS identified and updated its manual process of transferring expenditures from the Medicaid Cluster to the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) in June 2021; and will continue this manual process, on a quarterly basis, by completing a summary-level adjustment determined by analyzing the Community Health Automated Medicaid Processing System (CHAMPS) payment data and Bridges eligibility data until all existing cases have been updated.
