Medicaid Service Coordination Family Training

        Parent to Parent staff are available to explain how Medicaid Service Coordination works and the benefits of the service.  If you are new to Medicaid Service Coordination, we can provide an overview of the program by telephone, one-to-one meeting or in a group setting.  If you already have MSC, but have questions, please contact us.  

 

What is Medicaid Service Coordination?

        Medicaid Service Coordination (MSC) is a Medicaid State Plan service administered by the NYS Office of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities (OMRDD).  MSC assists people with developmental disabilities in gaining access to necessary services and supports to lead successful lives in the community according to their own needs and desires.

        Through MSC, a person with a developmental disability and their family works in partnership with a qualified service coordinator to develop and maintain a personalized plan designed to meet a person’s needs and desires.  The focus of MSC is on assisting people to achieve their unique goals such as having a home, a job, a circle of friends, enjoyable leisure activities, and obtaining various services and supports.

    Please use the links on the left to learn more about Medicaid Service Coordination and be sure to check out our booklet.
