 The
Eligibility Program processes Maryland Children's Health
Program (MCHP) applications for Baltimore City residents.
We process applications for approximately 3000 pregnant women and
children each month.
Applications
are processed by the Eligibility Program staff within 10 working
days of receipt. Each applicant receives a decision notice by mail.
For those who are eligible, the case information is electronically
transferred to the State of Maryland and the Maryland Medical Care
Program card is mailed to the recipient. A packet containing
information and instructions for joining a managed care organization
(MCO) is also mailed to the enrollee. The entire process from
application to receipt of the card and MCO packet takes
approximately 2-4 weeks.
If an applicant’s income is higher than the income limit for
MCHP, the application will be forwarded to the Maryland Department
of Health and Mental Hygiene to be processed for MCHP Premium.
Applications are available on this
