New to Long-Term Care?
If you or a loved one are new to Medicaid Community Based Long Term Care Services (CBLTCS) or have not received CBLTCS for more than 45 days, you must contact the New York Independent Assessor (NYIA). The NYIA will complete your initial assessment, in order to confirm that you are eligible to enroll. The initial assessment process includes two steps:
- Community Health Assessment (CHA), which is an assessment that is completed by a registered nurse, to see if you need personal care and/or consumer directed personal assistance services (PCS/CDPAS) and are eligible for enrollment in a Managed Long Term Care plan or MAP plan.
- Clinical appointment and Practitioner Order (PO): which is conducted by a medical practitioner, to confirm that you have a need for help with daily activities, and that your medical condition is stable, so you can receive care in your home.
If you have questions about the New York independent Assessor, please call 1-888-401-6582. TTY: 1-888-329-1541. Or call our Member Services staff for assistance at 1-855-552-4642, and we will be happy to help you. (TTY users, call 711.)
What’s next?
We will contact the individual to talk about the program and its benefits in detail, schedule an assessment, and create a plan of care for the individual. Then if the person agrees to enroll, we would submit it to the state and CMS, and then if it is approved, the enrollment would take effect on the first day of the next month.
