BIC/CIN Information on MEDS Screens

The 14-digit BIC number can be found on the INXB screen. Information about the BIC can be found in MEDS on the following screens:

INQM and INQ1 Screens

BIC Issue Date

The date that EDS issued the most recent, permanent BIC. If it is blank, a BIC has never been issued for the client (e.g. a MEDS record which has not been active since BIC implementation). This date is critical for clients and for providers to access the CA-EV/CMS.

Paper ID Card Issue Date

Usually this field is blank unless the MC client asks for a paper card. If there is a date, it shows that a paper card was issued on that specific day by the CST for an immediate need.

MOPI Screen

This screen allows the EW access to the same eligibility messages that the health care providers receive when they do an eligibility inquiry on the POS device. The EW can research client/provider problems. The “Recipient ID” required in this screen can be a Social Security Number (SSN), a pseudo ID or the Client Index Number (CIN).

SOCR Screen

This screen provides access to the Online query SOC database. The SOC database contains real time information on all cases reported to MEDS with a SOC.

The SOC database contains query data such as the list of all cases in which the client is a member, the SOC case amount and the SOC balance (the remaining amount of SOC obligation for the month in question).
