Data:
Beginning October 1st of this year, with the discontinuation of select Mainframe processes, some difficulties have been encountered with Medicaid eligibility data feeds into the MDCH Data Warehouse. To limit the risk of reporting inaccurate data, beginning with the month of October 2009, the "Medicaid Blood Lead Testing" and other reports will be temporarily suspended or delayed.
As soon as this problem has been corrected, new reports and a note announcing them will be posted here. An e-mail notification will also be sent to stakeholders statewide.
