Rescinding Coverage of Emergency Services for Managed Care
This letter rescinds the December 20, 2002, State Medicaid Director letter related to the coverage
of emergency services for Medicaid managed care enrollees. That letter indicated that the
limitations on amount, duration, and scope regarding emergency services as specified in the state
plan would apply in the same manner to managed care enrollees as to fee-for-service
beneficiaries.
