Waiver Care Coordination
Waiver Care Coordination assists eligible Elders or disabled adults with obtaining a full range of services so they can remain living as independently as possible. Through this program, customers can receive help applying for Medicaid and Waiver screening (for the Alaska CHOICE Medicaid Waiver Program), while also receiving coordination of support services and overall advocacy for their basic needs.
The Waiver Care office is staffed by certified Care Coordinators who assist customers in gaining access to Medicaid Waiver and other desired services. The Care Coordinators assess what services the customer needs, and then develop a plan of care that informs the state which services should be approved. They assist in setting up the services and monitor the customer’s response to them through phone contact and monthly home visits.
