After reviewing the requirements for establishing a legal presence in the United States and securing health care services under Medicaid and Medicare, this article reports on a questionnaire developed to determine patients' documentation status and eligibility for publicly funded medical care.
The questionnaire was developed based on an integration of the relevant provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act and the Social Security Act.
The questionnaire is both valid and reliable when compared with an instrument currently used by immigration attorneys.
This assessment is useful provided there is no requirement that undocumented individuals be reported to the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
在回顾了在美国合法居留的要求以及根据医疗补助计划和医疗保险获得医疗保健服务的相关规定后，本文报告了一份为确定患者的文件状况及获得公共资助医疗护理资格而设计的调查问卷。
该调查问卷是根据《移民与国籍法》和《社会保障法》的相关条款综合制定的。
与移民律师目前使用的一份工具相比，这份调查问卷既有效又可靠。
只要没有要求向移民归化局报告无证人员，这种评估就是有用的。
