Acute Care Hospital Review | Chronic Disease Hospital Review
Qualidigm is responsible for reviewing Medicaid clients in Connecticut and border state chronic disease hospitals (CDHs). This process is in accordance with section 17b-262-787 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies as implemented by the Department of Social Services (DSS). The initial phase of this review involves patients admitted to CDHs beginning December 1, 2009.
A separate process will be used to review the continued stay for eligible clients who were admitted prior to December 1, 2009. A third process will be used to review clients who were not eligible at the time of admission, but who are granted eligibility during their stay or after discharge. The implementation date and description of those processes will be communicated by DSS and Qualidigm at a later date.
