A request for payment for NF is made to the local office in the county where the applicant lives. A written application is not required for an individual who has an active Medicaid case. For NF, DHS Form ABCDM-83 (new form number 08MA083E), Notification Regarding Patient in a Nursing Facility, Intermediate Care Facility for the Mentally Retarded or Hospice form, when received in the county office, also constitutes an application request and is handled the same as an oral request.
