Approaching 2015 Wisconsin LTC Budget Changes

The 2015 Wisconsin budget includes changes to long term care delivery through the Family Care Program.  The budget authorizes a State wide expansion.  The success of the expansion will depend on the strength of the network of participating service providers.  Wisconsin will need the help of existing providers more than ever.

The 2015 budget authorizes the inclusion of Health Care Services in the new Family Care Program.  This strategy is to streamline delivery as a way to improve outcomes.  The adding of health care services and maintaining of personal supportive care will require an adjustment of the assessment process. 

Home Care Path has a history of utilizing the PATHALONG model as an aspect of a comprehensive independent assessment process that includes health care services, inpatient transitions, and personal supportive care needs. https://homecarepath-public.sharepoint.com/pathalongmodel Our nurses have performed the Functional Eligibility Screening for agencies in past employment experiences. 

Home Care Path is working to develop the service needed to perform the independent personal care assessment listed on the State of Wisconsin 2015 budget.  We are planning to take a proactive role in this Family Care upgrade. This service would bridge the regulatory gap between the authorizing insurance plan and the personal care provider.
