Emergency Medical Services for Aliens (EMSA)
Emergency Medical Services for Aliens (EMSA) provides coverage of emergency services for certain non-citizens who are undocumented or who do not meet the qualifying immigration criteria and who meet all eligibility criteria for an existing Medicaid category except for their alien status. The alien must receive emergency medical services and be referred to the local Income Support Division (ISD) office by the provider. If s/he is found eligible by ISD, s/he must give the MAD 310 form issued by ISD to the provider so that the claim and the MAD 310 form can be submitted to the Medicaid fiscal agent. Coverage is available only for emergencies approved by the UR contractor and only for the duration of the specific emergency.
