Medicaid On-Site Application Assistance (MOSAA)

Medicaid On-Site Application Assistance (MOSAA) refers to the process of completing an application for regular (as opposed to short-term) Medicaid for children or for women who are pregnant or are seeking family planning services.

MOSAA does not result in 'instant eligibility' in the same way Presumptive Eligibility does. MOSAA allows a PE/MOSAA Determiner to give Medicaid applications to clients, gather the information required to determine eligibility (such as proof of income, proof of insurance, etc.), and conduct an eligibility interview. The resulting paperwork is mailed to the local Income Support Division office where a final determination of eligibility is made.

A finalized and approved MOSAA application may result in 12 months of Medicaid eligibility for children; coverage for pregnant women (which includes two months of post-partum care); and one year of family planning Medicaid coverage for women.

There are a number of individuals, called PE/MOSAA Determiners, throughout the state who are trained and certified to help you with Presumptive Eligibility and Medicaid On-Site Application Assistance. They can be school or community organization employees or employees at doctors? offices, hospitals or clinics. Call the Insure New Mexico! Solutions Center at (888) 997-2583 to find a PE/MOSAA Determiner in your area.
