Medicaid and Medicare Denials: The DLC seeks to ensure that people with disabilities receive appropriate healthcare services. The DLC takes cases of individuals with disabilities facing denial, reduction, or termination of healthcare and/or assistive technology services by Medicaid or Medicare. This includes DSPD or waiver services. The DLC does not take cases regarding Medicare or Medicaid eligibility and does not take private health insurance cases.
Nursing Home Discharge: The DLC also investigates allegations of inappropriate discharge of those currently receiving inpatient residential healthcare services in long term care facilities and skilled nursing facilities. The DLC will investigate whether procedures regarding discharge are being followed, but may not be able to stop the discharge from taking place.
