Medicaid installs new drop box for applicants
The CNMI State Medicaid Agency has installed a new drop box as a way for applicants to submit their applications and supporting documents during the global pandemic.
New and returning applicants can pick up all application forms right next to the drop box located at the Medicaid office on Capital Hill or forms can be downloaded via the Medicaid website at http://medicaid.cnmi.mp/index.php/sma-services/medicaid-application-forms.
All application and renewal/redetermination forms submitted must be original. Supporting documents may be submitted via fax at (670) 664-4885, email, or via the drop box with copies attached to application forms. Note that Medicaid staff will not be making any copies for clients at this time.
In addition, be sure that all mailing addresses and contact numbers are up to date to ensure that cards are sent to the correct addresses and in the event that case workers need to contact any beneficiaries.
The CNMI State Medicaid Agency will be practicing social distancing at their Capital Hill office. Applicants and beneficiaries will be advised to stay at least 6 feet apart from one another in waiting areas.
