ILIS - LIS Client Inquiry Request

The DHCS developed a LIS database consisting of seven MEDS inquiry screens.

Data from the LIS database is compared to MEDS to identify potential Medi-Cal and MSP eligible persons. Once identified, counties are notified of these potential eligibles via daily worker alerts. The LIS data will also assist counties with their evaluation of Medi-Cal and MSP eligibility.

The seven LIS inquiry screens are:

LIS1 - Client Data
LIS2 - Client Information
LIS3 - Client Address Data From MEDS
LIS4 - Client Income/Resources
LIS5 - Client Status Data
LIS6 - Client Data from MEDS
LISM - Multiple Applications.
