Make sure you include your client's permanent residence address on their enrollment form or their application may be denied
|

Follow these best practices to help prevent application denials
- Document the enrollee’s correct permanent residence address on the enrollment form, in addition to their mailing address.
- If the enrollee indicates that they do not a have a permanent residence address and must use a PO Box, explain CMS’s requirements. CMS generally does not accept a PO Box as permanent residence address.
- In the case of homeless individuals, CMS does consider a PO Box to be acceptable as a permanent residence,* but Aetna must still contact the enrollee to verify this information. In that situation, let the enrollee know that Aetna will be contacting them by phone or letter and that they need to be ready to respond. If the enrollee does not respond, Aetna must deny the enrollment.
*Homeless individuals may also use the address of a shelter or clinic or the address where the individual receives mail, (e.g., social security checks), as their permanent address.
