The purpose of this GIS is to advise local departments of social services (LDSS) about changes to personal care services for non-dual eligible individuals who are enrolled in the mainstream Medicaid managed care program. Effective August 1, 2011, personal care services, except for dual eligible individuals and those participating in the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP), will become the responsibility of the Managed Care Organizations (MCOs). This will impact approximately 5,000 individuals statewide. The responsibility for assessing and authorizing personal care services for individuals enrolled in mainstream managed care will remain the responsibility of the local social services district (LDSS) though July 31, 2011. This change will not affect CDPAP until July 1, 2012.
