Adult Home-Based Support Services Award Letter Help PLEASE

[Guest guest]

I am asking for your help. I received this letter yesterday and I am

not sure what to do. I will call my PAS agent which is PACT but I

was hoping someone knows the ins and outs as in the past the PAS

agent has been less then helpful.

It says the award is contingent on completion of your application

process for the Illinois Medicaid program. Medicaid eligibility

interferes with medial benefits through the states comprehensive

health insurance program (CHIP). Individuals will be terminated from

CHIP benefits once enrolled in the Medicaid program. State law

prohibits individuals from participation in both CHIP and Medicaid at

the same time, so make a choice.

An individual may be enrolled in only 1 Medicaid Waiver, has

HBWD does that mean he can not have that and these home based

services?

It also says before services can begin, a Service Plan must be

developed by you working with a Service Facilitation agency. Funded

Adult HBS may only be rendered by a qualified provider. The Service

Facilitator can assist you in meeting this requirement. (is this

PACT)?

Is says if you have any questions to contact the Independent Service

Coordination Agency ISCA staff or HBS service Facilitator. Who do I

call first and who will be able to best direct me so that I do not

get terminated if nothing is done in 6 months? I know this is a good

thing but :

I AM SO CONFUSED!

Thanks, Shirley
