Requesting Additional Proof of Identity
Providers may request additional proof of identity from a member if they suspect fraudulent use of a ForwardHealth identification
card. If another form of identification is not available, providers can compare a person's signature with the signature on the back of
the ForwardHealth identification card if it is signed. (Adult members are encouraged to sign the back of their cards; however, it is
not mandatory for members to do so.)
Verifying member identity, as well as enrollment, can help providers detect instances of fraudulent ForwardHealth card use.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
