Feeling lost trying to Increase Home Care Hours?

Have you or your loved one been approved for Medicaid home attendant services, but find the authorized hours aren’t enough to meet essential daily needs? This is a common and stressful situation, often arising as care needs change or initial assessments didn’t fully capture the required level of support.

If you need more home care hours, BenefitsNYC is here to help. We understand that getting adequate care isn’t just a necessity, it’s what you deserve. We strongly advocate on your behalf to obtain the appropriate increase in care hours.

Specialized Support for High-Needs Conditions

Increase Home Attendant Hours for needed care

Why Might You Need More Home Care Hours? Initial hour approvals may fall short for various reasons. You might need our help to increase hours if:

  • Your medical condition has worsened or changed.
  • There's been a recent hospitalization or decline in function.
  • The initial assessment didn't fully reflect safety risks (e.g., fall risk, wandering).
  • You require assistance during times not currently covered (e.g., nights, weekends).
  • You have specific needs related to conditions like dementia or Alzheimer's requiring more supervision.
Advocacy for Dementia, Alzheimer’s, and Complex Care Needs. We understand that if your loved one has problems with Alzheimer’s, Dementia, Parkinson’s disease, memory loss, or other conditions requiring significant supervision and assistance, standard hour allocations are often insufficient.These conditions frequently require constant monitoring for safety, prompting assistance throughout the day and night. In such cases, we will help advocate for higher hour approvals, potentially including arrangements like split-shift (e.g., 12 hours day / 12 hours night) or 24-hour care (Live-in caregiver) when medically justified, to ensure safety and proper support.

How it WORKS

Our Comprehensive Assistance Process for Increased Care

Securing more home care hours involves demonstrating the medical necessity to the MLTC plan and potentially the NY Independent Assessor (NYIA) or through appeals. We guide you through this complex process:

Step 01.

Reviewing Your Current Situation

We thoroughly assess your current care plan, documented needs, and the reasons why more hours are required.

Step 02.

Gathering Supporting Evidence

We help you collect crucial medical documentation (updated doctor’s orders, letters of medical necessity, functional assessments) that clearly justifies the need for increased hours.

Step 03.

Requesting Reassessment

We assist in formally requesting a reassessment from your MLTC plan or the NYIA, presenting the supporting evidence effectively.

Step 04.

Preparing for Assessments

We help you prepare for any subsequent assessments or interviews to ensure your needs are clearly communicated.

Step 05.

Navigating Appeals & Fair Hearings

If the request for increased hours is denied, we provide guidance and support through the MLTC appeal process or requesting a Medicaid Fair Hearing.
