their recipient identification number (RIN).
The following information only applies for patients who have a) submitted a complete Medicaid application and
b) the application
is categorized as “Medical Assistance No Grant” and is in MANG pending status.
This MANG Pending review process does not apply to Child/Adolescent Psychiatric Admissions or Prior Authorization for CABG or Back Surgeries.
