What is the trauma lead letter and do I have to fill it out?
When you visit any physician or hospital and a claim is sent to Medicaid with a diagnosis indicating there may have been an injury involved. The Medicaid system automatically generates this letter so that Medicaid can verify if the injury was caused by an accident in which someone else may be responsible. You are required to fill it out and return to Medicaid within 10 days. Also, you may receive more then one as Medicaid may receive more then one claim for this incident from multiple providers; each letter is required to be sent back in within 10 business days.
