Rights and Responsibilities

I declare that I am a U.S. citizen or in this country legally.

The information I gave on this form is true and correct to the best of my knowledge. I realize if I knowingly give information that is not true OR if I knowingly hold back information, I may get health benefits for which I am not eligible. If that happens, I can be lawfully punished for fraud. I may also have to pay Medicaid back for any medical bills which are paid incorrectly.

I understand that the information I give about my situation will be checked. I agree to help do that, and to let Medicaid get information it needs from government agencies, employers, medical providers, and other sources. If I refuse to help with this process or in later reviews caused by reported changes, or as part of a Recipient Eligibility review, it will mean that I can’t get Medicaid until I do help.

I know that Social Security numbers will only be used to get information from other government agencies to prove my eligibility.

I agree to tell Medicaid within 10 days if 1) I move out of state; 2) there are changes in where I live or get my mail; 3) there are any changes in other health insurance coverage; 4) there is any change in my work status.

By accepting Medicaid, I agree that any medical payments received from other sources will be sent to the Department of Health and Hospitals for any services that were covered by Medicaid.

I can ask for a Fair Hearing if I think the decision made on my case is unfair, incorrect or being made too late.

Medicaid can’t treat me differently because of my race, color, sex, age, disability, religion, nationality or political belief. If I think they have, I can call the U.S. DHHS Regional Office for Civil Rights in Dallas, TX at 1+800+368-1019 or write to Louisiana’s Department of Health & Hospitals, Human Resources at P. O. Box 1349 Baton Rouge, LA 70821-1349.
