HARP Eligibility and Medicare Enrollment During the Public Health Emergency

DCSs, A-SPOAs, LGUs that Operate CMAs

At the current time, in compliance with the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, the State is ensuring Health and Recovery Plan (HARP) and HIV Special Needs Plan (HIV SNP) enrollees maintain coverage and enrollment in their current health plan, even as they gain eligibility for Medicare. This is a reminder that all covered services are available to eligible members in the HARP and HIV SNP, including Adult Behavioral Health Home and Community Based Services (BH HCBS), as appropriate for the member. Providers should not end otherwise appropriate services for these members solely due to the member gaining eligibility for Medicare. HARPs and HIV SNPs are encouraged to work with Health Homes and providers to assist in maintaining members’ access to BH HCBS.
