'''OLD INFORMATION'''
*New Empanelment Referral Form (NERF) for DHS eligible patients needing PCP
*[[How to NERF]]
*Prioritize for patients actually need PCP, not for routine PCP follow up
*Before NERF’ing, ensure that the patient '''wants a PCP within DHS''' and has '''given their preferred phone number'''.
*DO NOT NERF patient with MHLA or has non-DHS Medi-Cal managed care.
**If the patient no longer wants to get their care from their current MHLA or Medi-Cal managed care provider and the patient confirms that they would prefer to come to DHS, then a NERF may be submitted.
**Use the Comment Box to indicate that the patient would like to switch their care to a DHS provider. This will help the Patient Relations Team know that the NERF was not submitted in error.
*Time frame to empanelment depends on where the patient is in obtaining Medi-Cal. Where they are in the process will determine how quickly the patient can be NERF’d
*Medi-Cal continuum is complex, check the ‘Additional Patient Info’ on ED Summary or Demographics to find out what patient’s insurance plan is
**Hospital presumptive eligibility (HPE) 402
***Need to go to Financial Services in 3S to complete their application for Medi-Cal,
***Must do so before the end of the following month.
***Only good ONCE in 12 months.
**Fee For Service (FFS) 405 window
***When application getting processed.
***Will get packet for them to PICK plan, or will get auto-assigned.
***Might start out DHS but then turned into OOP later.
**Restricted 406 for patients
*** Don't qualify for a plan due to residency challenges, or self pay
*** CAN GET NERF'd quickly
*Ask Registration if you have any questions on shift
*Patient Access Center/Appointment Center x66500 for patients that want to schedule clinic follow up or enquire about their NERF status.
*[https://wikem.org/wiki/Template:CCC|Continuity Care Clinic (CCC)] is a good resource with adult patient getting discharged with chronic medical condition that cannot get NERF'd quickly (HPE and FFS).
