MMA
 
plans
 
are
 
responsible
 
for
 
the
 
coverage
 
and
 
payment
 
of
 
services
 
provided
 
to
 
the
 
baby
 
from
 
the
 
date
 
of
 
birth. For
 
up
 
to
 
90
 
days
 
after
 
birth,
 
the
 
Agency
 
will
 
enroll
 
a
 
newborn
 
in
 
the
 
same
 
plan
 
as
 
the
 
mother. After
 
90
 
days,
 
the
 
Agency
 
will
 
assign
 
infants
 
according
 
to
 
the
 
Agency’s
 
MMA
 
standard
 
auto
 
assignment
 
criteria. Most
 
Medicaid
 
services
 
are
 
covered
 
by
 
the
 
MMA
 
plan,
 
but
 
a
 
few,
 
such
 
as
 
newborn
 
hearing
 
screening,
 
are
 
fee
 
for
 
service,
 
and
 
should
 
be
 
submitted
 
for
 
payment
 
to
 
the
 
Medicaid
 
fiscal
 
agent. Claims
 
should
 
not
 
be
 
submitted
 
to
 
HP
 
for
 
services
 
covered
 
by
 
the
 
MMA
 
plans. Providers
 
should
 
submit
 
claims
 
for
 
payment
 
of
 
MMA
 
covered
 
Medicaid
 
services
 
to
 
the
 
baby’s
 
MMA
 
plan.
