Medicaid Home Care Coordination Services

As published in the Long Island Press, on longislandpress.com and danspapers.com

Alice needed a home health care aide for some time before she finally allowed her daughter Susan to take charge. Susan spent months securing all the financial documentation to prove her mother’s financial eligibility for Medicaid benefits. What a relief to receive that acceptance letter from Medicaid!

Little did Alice or Susan know that they were only halfway through the Medicaid maze toward actually getting an aide in the home. How many hours of home health aide coverage will Alice receive? Who does that evaluation? What is Maximus? What is an MLTC? Are Alice and Susan supposed to know what to do next? Are you?

This is where the Cona Elder Law Medicaid Home Care Coordination Services team comes in. Our experienced and highly skilled Medicaid Home Care Coordinators navigate the entire home health aide evaluation and services implementation process with you, including:

• Scheduling your initial assessment with New York State and reviewing the scoring process with you.
• Preparing as many as three (3) Managed Long Term Care Plan (MLTC) intake applications.
• Scheduling and attending the nursing assessments during which the number of care hours are decided. A Cona Elder Law Care Coordinator can attend the assessment to act as your advocate to secure a maximum number of hours of home care.
• Reviewing the nursing assessments with you and helping you choose an MLTC as well as a home care agency that contracts with your MLTC.
• Assisting with alternative programs to obtain necessary services for your loved one, including the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP), the Nursing Home Transition and Diversion Waiver program, and the Traumatic Brain Injury Waiver Program.
