Questions families ask

What is Managed Long Term Care (MLTC), and is it mandatory on Staten Island?

MLTC is New York's Medicaid managed-care delivery system for long-term care -- either PACE (age 55+) or MLTC Partial Capitation/Medicaid Advantage Plus. Enrollment has been mandatory in New York City, including Richmond County/Staten Island, since 2012 under Medicaid Redesign Team Initiative #90, approved August 31, 2012.

What is the NHTD waiver, and how is it different from MLTC?

The Nursing Home Transition and Diversion (NHTD) waiver is a Medicaid 1915(c) home- and community-based services waiver, administered through NYSDOH Regional Resource Development Centers, for Medicaid-eligible people 65+ (or younger with a disability) assessed as needing nursing-home-level care who want to receive services in the community instead. MLTC is a managed-care delivery system; NHTD is a specific waiver program.

What is New York's Assisted Living Program (ALP), and does it pay room and board?

The Assisted Living Program (ALP), under 18 NYCRR Part 494, is Medicaid-funded care delivered inside a qualifying Adult Home or Enriched Housing Program setting -- covering personal care, home health aides, nursing, therapy, medical supplies, adult day health care and RN case management. It folds room and board into its rate structure differently than a pure HCBS waiver, so the exact private-pay portion varies by community.
