Many aging adults suffering from disabling conditions and chronic illnesses need long-term care services. Without it, they may endure serious physical and mental health risks. Affording such services can be a concern for adults and their families. Therefore, many people turn to Medicaid-managed care for assistance.
To make professional care more accessible for our patients, Belleville Senior Services accepts Medicaid Managed Care Insurance as payment. Here, we discuss what Medicaid-managed care is and its use in adult medical daycare services.
What Is Medicaid Managed Care?
Medicaid managed care is the primary program for providing health care and long-term services to patients who require financial support. The program is jointly supported by the federal government and states. It is administered by states while adhering to broad federal guidelines.
The New Jersey Medicaid Program ensures free or low-cost health coverage to eligible people in need. To be considered eligible for financial assistance provided by New Jersey Medicaid, a person must be a resident of the state of New Jersey. Additionally, they must need health care/insurance assistance and be in a financial situation that is characterized as low income or very low income.
