Med-QUEST launched a new statewide renewal process for cases with children and youth beginning 1 June 2004. The goal is to retain all eligible children and youth in its QUEST and Medicaid programs. Here are the details: 1. The month prior to the family’s annual renewal, they will receive a computer-generated prepopulated form from Med-QUEST. It will be on lilac-colored paper. 2. If there are changes, the family must write their new information on the form, sign it, and send it back to Med-QUEST. 3. If there are no changes, no action is necessary and the case will automatically be renewed for one year. 4. To assure compliance with federal quality control measures, Med-QUEST will reference available databases to check the accuracy of reported information on the original application and renewal forms. They will also conduct random sample follow-up telephone interviews with customers. 5. If a customer loses the prepopulated renewal form mailed from Med-QUEST, she/he should call her/his eligibility worker for a new one.
