and spinal waiver and the Cystic fibrosis waiver's all went under ACHA and the Long term care programs (MMA's) under the plans in the state that offer LTC. This happened as of 1/1/18. Many many folks have had their services reduced, the new case managers (coordinators) only have to see most 1X every 3 months and have HUGE case loads. They don't understand the populations they are working with, for instance, a quadriplegic was told he no longer needed a bowl program and they wont pay for the correct suppositories they need to assist in this process, another had his hours cut by 16 hours per week, another was told he was brand new when he was a transition consumer.....All the community support coordinators as well as those who worked for the DOH to assist with these programs lost their jobs. Given that they moved all these folks in one day, I am not sure what the fate of APD will be given the people at the top running that organization.

retired and now you have all new people that have no idea what the process is and so they tend to dump everything on the WSC's to even get the consumer medicaid something WSC never did before. They used to have field training but did away with that to provide online manuals that do not cover all the other issues that happen that are not accounted for in the manual. Date=05-11-18 |
