Eaedc Medical Report Form PDF Details

Filling out the Emergency Aid to the Elderly, Disabled, and Children (EAEDC) Medical Report form is a critical step for residents of Massachusetts seeking financial and medical assistance due to disability. This detailed form serves as a bridge between patients and the assistance they need, ensuring that the Department of Transitional Assistance (DTA) can make informed decisions about eligibility based on accurate and comprehensive medical information. It requires personal information, including the patient's name, contact details, and comprehensive medical history, alongside a signed Medical Records Release Form. This allows healthcare providers to share vital medical records with the DTA and Disability Evaluation Services (DES) for a thorough review. Medical providers are urged to supply objective clinical findings, diagnoses, and any test results to support the disability claim. The form also outlines the expectations for medical providers, including using their regular MassHealth Provider Number for billing and adhering to strict guidelines regarding what constitutes disability. This form is a patient's gateway to obtaining the necessary support, underlining the significance of its correct and complete submission – a process that underscores the state's commitment to aiding its vulnerable citizens.

EAEDC Medical Report

General Instructions to Medical and Mental Health Care Providers

Your patient has applied for cash and medical assistance under a DTA program as disabled. To be eligible, your patient must file an EAEDC Medical Report so that eligibility can be determined. Regulations for a disability determination require that a diagnosis be supported by specific clinical findings. The medical data provided by you in the report (clinical findings, diagnosis, test results) will be used by DTA to determine disability.

For these purposes, an individual is disabled if he or she has an impairment or combination of impairments that is expected to last 60 days or more and that substantially reduces or eliminates the applicant’s or client’s ability to support himself or herself.

If you need a copy of DTA’s regulations regarding a disability determination, telephone (617) 348-5299 and leave a message or refer to DTA’s regulations by visiting the Mass.gov website at:

http://www.mass.gov/eohhs/docs/dta/g-reg-320.pdf

The Department will pay for the medical evaluations needed to complete a Medical Report, including diagnostic tests, through its regular medical billing system (newMMIS). Please use your regular MassHealth Provider Number when submitting invoices for these services.

The EAEDC Medical Report must be signed by a Competent Medical Authority. Please refer to page 10 for details before proceeding further.

The EAEDC Medical Report must include an objective report of clinical findings and current functioning.

It is essential that, when you complete the EAEDC Medical Report, you supply all relevant information.

Complete the EAEDC Medical Report in full with respect to the conditions that are relevant to the patient. Sign and return it to the patient or mail it to: DTA Document Processing Center, P.O. Box 4406, Taunton MA 02780-0420, or fax to (617) 887-8765 indicated on page 11.

Call UMASS/Disability Evaluation Services (DES) at 1-800-888-3420 with questions

you may have regarding the completion of this report.
