New York Responses to Medicare Demand Filed in Prisoner Civil Rights Actions, June 23, 2011, is a policy document issued by the New York State Department of Health (DOH) in response to a demand for Medicare coverage filed by a prisoner in a civil rights action. The document outlines the requirements for prisoners to receive Medicaid coverage in New York State, and is broken down into two categories: Medicaid eligibility and Medicaid coverage. Under Medicaid eligibility, the document states that prisoners must meet the State of New York's eligibility criteria, including having an income and resources that meet the criteria set forth in the State's Medicaid regulations. Additionally, the document outlines the required documents that must be submitted to the DOH in order to establish eligibility for Medicaid coverage, such as proof of identity, proof of residence, and proof of income. Under Medicaid coverage, the document outlines the types of services that are covered by Medicaid, including hospital services, physician services, and home health services. The document also states that prisoners who meet the eligibility criteria are eligible to receive Medicaid coverage for the duration of their incarceration. In addition to the two categories of Medicaid eligibility and coverage, the document provides information about the appeals process for prisoners who are denied Medicaid coverage, as well as contact information for the DOH.
