Many people who used to be exempt from mandatory enrollment in Medicaid managed care have been receiving notices in summer and fall 2012 telling them that their exemption has ended, and that they now have 30 days to enroll in a managed care plan. This type of managed care is sometimes called "mainstream" managed care and is for Medicaid recipients who do not have Medicare. It is different from mandatory managed long term care, which is being implemented in NYC in October 2012 for dual eligibles -- those who have Medicaid AND Medicare -- who need Medicaid home care. This is a sample notice used in NYC in August 2012.

This letter is from HRA and it provides information about the process for filing new Medicaid applications for individuals who will be seeking personal care services.

HRA brochure explaining long term care options after September 2012. Explains what PACE/MLTC/Medicaid Advantage Plus programs/Lombardi/TBi/NHTDW programs are but not much about who must enroll, what their options are.

As previously announced, MAP has developed a web-site, MAP Authorized Resource Center (MARC)
to better assist Facilitated Enrollers (FEs), Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Client Representatives,
Community Based Organizations, and providers that assist consumers with Medicaid applications and
renewals. An important feature of this site is the ability to send e-mails to those registered in the site
when new content, such as new Alerts, are posted.

Effective immediately MAP Eligibility Information Services will no longer mail information, such as
Alerts, Community and Advisory Council Meeting schedules. To receive this information, you must
register for MARC. MARC users will be notified via e-mail. This will allow both faster and more cost
effective notifications.
