How should claims for newborns be submitted?
Newborns are eligible under the mothers Alliance ID# up to a maximum of 60 days after their date of birth. However, if a parent obtains a SSN and notifies their Medi-Cal worker of the birth immediately, the infant may have his/her own case sooner than 60 days from the date of birth. The first 30 days of life do not require a RAF from the mothers PCP. Days 31-60 require a RAF from the mothers PCP (if the mother is linked to a PCP) unless the infant has his/her own case.
