  Question
  What if a beneficiary in spenddown applies for the drug card or the $600 credit and receives a letter saying they were rejected because data shows that they are receiving a Medicaid outpatient prescription drug benefit? What if that’s not true and the beneficiary did not have access to Medicaid drugs at the time they applied?
  Answer
  The beneficiary should follow the instructions in the denial letter for a reconsideration. They need to provide the reconsideration staff with documentation that shows their Medicaid benefits had stopped during the time they applied for the drug card or the $600.
