10 Colo. Code Regs. § 2505-10-8.170
Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 11, June 10, 2024
Section 10 CCR 2505-10-8.170 - STATE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER.10 As medical assistance is administered on an individual recipient basis, rather than on a household basis, the individual recipient is uniquely identified. A state assigned number is used for this purpose. This state identification number consists of an alpha (letter) prefix, followed by a six-digit number. When an individual is approved for medical assistance, the state identification number is assigned. This number is transmitted to the county department via the automated system. .20 The State Identification Number is the only numeric designation medical assistance providers will have, other than the name, to identify individuals. This number is required to be entered on all billing transactions. In order to carry out this responsibility for facilitating provision of medical benefits to recipients, to properly respond to inquiries from providers, to secure benefits of medical resources other than Medicaid (see 8.061 et seq.), and for other administrative purposes, county departments are to maintain cross reference files of household and medical identification numbers.
