Michigan Level of Care Screening Tool
Are you having a hard time figuring out if a resident/member might qualify for Nursing Home Care/Mi-Choice Waiver/PACE program? They all meet the same admission requirements, and must be screened utilizing the MDCH LOC Determination Form. This form determines if the individual meets the necessary Level of Care (LOC) requirements for these programs. Attached is the LOC Determination form which is utilized by all organizations the offer nursing home care, medicaid waiver or PACE programming. In addition, if you follow the link below, it will take you to the Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) website with more information about the LOC Determination Form and the Freedom of Choice Form. The Freedom of Choice form must be provided to all individuals screened on the LOC Determination Form to inform them if they meet the LOC needs, plus what their options are if they meet the LOC needs.
