Medicaid/NC/EIS

Overview

This page is about North Carolina's Medicaid Eligibility Information System (EIS), which is a mainframe computer program used in NC to determine eligibility for Medicaid. It is not clear whether there are any guidelines or rules available which express, in human-readable form, the requirements which the EIS software is supposed to follow; if there are any, they do not appear to be available online.

Access appears to be via text-based terminal, probably telnet or possibly ssh. The user manual does not seem to give the address (IP address or domain name) of the server; it may be that it is only accessible via private network.

It's also not clear whether the EIS covers areas other than Medicaid; it appears to be a very large system.

Connection to EIS appears to be through what is generally referred to as "the [North Carolina] state [computer] network", but we currently have no information on connecting to that network.
