This PDF has 2 form notices being sent in Jan. 2020 to adult Nursing Home Residents approved for Institutional Medicaid, advising them that they won't be enrolled in MLTC plans as previously notified. This is implementing the change approved by CMS for MLTC. See http://www.wnylc.com/health/entry/199/. The 1st notice is to those who received notice that they must select an MLTC plan by a certain date. The 2nd notice in the PDF is to those who were told they'd be assigned to an MLTC plan on February 1, 2020. That enrollment is now canceled.

Ciaramella v. Zucker (18-cv-06945), by The Legal Aid Society and Willkie Farr & Gallagher. See http://www.wnylc.com/health/entry/210/

Form designed by NYLAG EFLRP for a managed care or MLTC member to designate a family member, attorney or care manager, provider, and/or the ICAN Ombudsprogram to request a plan appeal, fair hearing, or a change in services from a managed care or MLTC plan. This new form is necessary because of changes starting in March 2018. At that time, one must first request an internal plan appeal before requesting a fair hearing. The request must be signed by the plan member unless a representative was previously designated. Signing this form in advance could prevent harmful delays in obtaining a client signature when requesting an appeal- especially if Aid Continuing is needed.
