ICYMI: Handle with Care with Alicia Lutman |
|
If the Appendix K flexibilities have been beneficial to you during this pandemic, if you've had peace of mind knowing you've been able to keep your family safe, we strongly encourage you to contact your legislators to advocate to make these flexibilities permanent. Your voices matter the most and your legislators will listen!
We have created a page on our website devoted to this effort that has the information you need to contact your legislators.
We look forward to the day when this pandemic has passed, to when it no longer poses a health risk to you for our team to come see you in person again or to have your attendants working in your homes.
We will continue to keep you updated as things change. The safety of the families we serve, of their attendants, and of our team members remains our top priority.
Thank you for your continued patience and for your trust in us to continue to serve you and your family with excellence. Thank you for partnering with us and allowing us the joy of serving you.

Renewing Your Medicaid
Individuals on the CCC Plus & both of the DD Waivers (CL/FIS) are required to renew their Medicaid annually. A paper renewal application is usually mailed to the primary residence the month before the individual’s renewal month. You will not be required to have another screening.
- When completing the renewal application, only include information regarding the individual requesting Medicaid.
- Write “CCC Plus/Long Term Care” at the top of the form.
-
Section 5: Renewal of coverage in future years (optional) – to make it easier to determine your eligibility for help paying for health coverage in future years, you can agree to allow the Medicaid or FAMIS programs or the Marketplace to use income data, including information from tax returns. You will not receive a renewal application. Instead, you will receive notification of the outcome of your renewal. 5 years is the maximum number of years allowed.
You can renew using the following methods:
-
By phone:
- Call Cover Virginia at 1-855-242-8282
- TTY: 1-888-221-1590
-
By mail or in person: Complete the paper renewal form and return it to your local department of social services.

Key Roles in a Medicaid Waiver |

To learn more about the role & responsibilities of the Service Facilitator, please visit our website for an overview.

FISCAL AGENT(S):
The Fiscal Employer Agent performs payroll activities on behalf of the EOR. This allows the individual to use waiver funds to hire and pay attendants.
