The purpose of this General Information System message is to inform local districts of changes and enhancements to the eMedNY Third Party subsystem screens effective February 2010. On a monthly basis, the Department creates a file of all dual eligibles and forwards it to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). CMS matches the individuals with their files and returns Medicare eligibility data on a response file, which is referred to as the Medicare Modernization Act (MMA) file. The changes referred to in this GIS are based on information the Department receives monthly on the MMA file
