During the 2008 Legislative Session,
the legislature passed Senate Bill 682 requiring the Department of
Health and Mental Hygiene (DHMH) and the Department of Human
Resources (DHR) to create uniform procedures, guidelines, and forms
to be used by all employees in the determination of long-term care (LTC)
Medical Assistance eligibility and to streamline regulations,
policies, and procedures related to the application for LTC Medical
Assistance Program services.
The LTC forms on this webpage are to
be used consistently by all case managers in all LDSS. For more
details please refer to the
Action Transmittal #09-19 and
Action Transmittal #12-02.
