Good News for AC/EW Services

The Alternative Care(AC) and Elderly Waiver(EW) programs  will be available to current and newly eligible recipients during a  government shutdown. Lead agency allocations for Alternative Care  are available to  pay  any claims that come into the system for service delivery in fiscal year 2011 and after July 1st. The Elderly Waiver program  may still be accessed as well and is available to all current and newly eligible recipients.  Payments will be made to providers for all AC and EW services that  have been properly authorized and delivered. Please  continue to assess program  eligibility, authorize services and monitor the delivery and payment of services during a government shutdown. If you have difficulty accessing AC allocations or authorizing services for an individual please leave a message for Lynn Glockner at 651 431-2572.  Lynn will  return part time to handle critical issues after July 11th if the shutdown continues past that date. For more information regarding the shutdown see our website at www.dhs.state.mn.us
