MA-LTC Requirement

An institutional level of care is required for people who are requesting MA-LTC through the Elderly Waiver, CAC, CADI, DD and TBI waivers or due to residence in an LTCF. The level of care is determined through an LTCC, full team DD screening or PAS.

FYI icon. LTCC: People requesting services through the CAC, CADI, EW or BI waiver programs must have had an LTCC which indicates that need for waiver services, meeting the level of care requirement, and the anticipated begin date of those services.

FYI icon. Full Team DD Screening: People requesting services through the DD waiver must have received a full team DD screening.

FYI icon. PAS: People residing in an LTCF must have received a preadmission screening (PAS) or be exempt from the PAS.

If you are contacted by a client, or by a family member on behalf of a client, who is seeking help to remain in their home or is considering a move to an LTCF, send that person a copy of the DHS-2497 (PDF) brochure, LTC Consultation Services, and refer them to your county’s LTCC team.

Note: An LTCC is also required to receive services through the Alternative Care (AC) program though, as you may recall, we will not administer this program.
