Who can receive these services? We serve people with severe disabilities under age 60 who need help with daily living activities in their homes. Many of these people are at risk of moving into a nursing home or other facility. (For those 60 and over, please contact the Illinois Department on Aging.)
Medicaid/NCU will cover emergency services if you or your family are temporarily outside of the state, if the care provider agrees to participate in Medicaid/NCU and to bill us. Medicaid does not make payments directly to recipients for any services.
