State regulations require that state facilities provide for the basic needs of their residents. These facilities recognize that many of these individuals will have little or no family support system to provide the services or items to meet basic needs.
The Client Information System (CIS/e-CIS) will enroll the ICF/ID resident in the Buy-In for DPW payment of his Medicare premium if he or she qualifies for Medicare.
See the Medical Assistance Eligibility Handbook, Chapter 388, Buy-In, for information about Buy-In enrollment. 42 CFR § 407.42 42 CFR § 407.47
