Tip of the Month:

Collaboration with Care Managers for the individual's Medicaid Managed Care Organization (MCO) is an essential component of

1) transition planning toward placement at a lower level of care,

2) optimizing the individual's ability to recover and rehabilitate, and

3) impacting the best possible quality of life. 

For all individuals on Medicaid, please make sure you are in contact with the assigned MCO Care Manager, share the PASRR with them, along with the care plan, service matters outcomes, and invite them to care conferences, particularly those around any challenging service needs or discharge planning.  If individuals in your care are considering a discharge against medical advice, please be certain to

1) notify the MCO

2) mark the discharge notice as being "against medical advice," and

3) contact Iowa HHS abuse hotline: 800-362-2178, to report potential dependent adult abuse/self denial of critical care if the AMA discharge may put the individual at risk for harm.
