The DOH-4220 - Access NY Health Care application can be used for all Medicaid benefits -- including for those who want to apply for coverage of Medicaid long-term care -- whether through home care or for those in a nursing home (with the addition of the Supplement A form, described below).
Managed Long-Term Care Program: Covers case management, nursing, home health aides, home attendant services, physical therapists for people who are Medicaid eligible, or eligible for both Medicaid and Medicare, and are medically eligible for long term care services. More information from the NYS Department of Health.
What documentation do I need to apply? Valid and current driver's license. Valid and current passport. Original US birth certificate. Social Security card.
To qualify for NY Medicaid's Managed Long Term Care (MLTC) Program, which is available via DAB Medicaid, an applicant must require a Nursing Facility Level of Care (NFLOC), and they must need long-term care for more than 120 days.
Definitions. Parents of Dependent Children: Income limits for 2024 are reported as a percentage of the federal poverty level (FPL). The 2024 FPL for a family of three is $25,820. Other Adults: Eligibility limits for other adults are presented as a percentage of the 2024 FPL for an individual is $15,060.
If you are pregnant or applying on behalf of children, a determination should be made within 30 days from the date of your application. If you are applying and have a disability which must be evaluated, it can take up to 90 days to determine if you are eligible.
In states that have expanded Medicaid coverage: You can qualify based on your income alone. If your household income is below 133% of the federal poverty level, you qualify. (Because of the way this is calculated, it turns out to be 138% of the federal poverty level. A few states use a different income limit.)
