What does MLTC stand for?
MLTC stands for Managed Long Term Care.
What is Managed Long Term Care?
Managed Long Term Care (MLTC) is a system that streamlines the delivery of long-term services to people who are chronically ill or disabled and who wish to stay in their homes and communities.
Who provides these MLTC services?
These services such as home care or adult day care are provided through managed long term care plans, such as EverCare Choice, that are approved by the New York Department of Health. The entire array of services to which an enrolled member is entitled can be received through the MLTC plan the member has chosen.
Is enrollment mandatory?
The State of New York mandates that residents that are dual eligible (eligible for both Medicaid and Medicare) and over twenty-one (21) years of age and have been determined to be eligible for Long Term Placement in a nursing home or reside in the community and are in need of community based long-term care services for more than 120 days and your nursing home or residence is located in the counties of Rockland, Orange or Dutchess, among others, you must enroll in a Managed Long Term Care Plan (“MLTCP”).
What if I don’t have to enroll, but want to?
You may voluntarily enroll if you are age eighteen (18) through twenty (20) and you are dual eligible and have been assessed as eligible for nursing home level care and as needing community based long-term care services for more than 120 days; or if you are only Medicaid eligible and age eighteen (18) and older and have been assessed as eligible for nursing home level of care and as needing community based long-term care services for more than 120 days.

Why should I choose EverCare Choice MLTC as my MLTC?
We are so glad you asked!
There are many reasons… but let me tell you about some:
First, EverCare Choice has been in operation for 17 years! Our staff has vast clinical experience, extensive knowledge of community support services, and an excellent track record in their advocacy of those under our care. Our members have peace of mind knowing their care is individualized and our number one priority.
Second, we are truly a healthcare organization – have always been – and we think that’s really important! We love that most of our staff live close to those under their care… we feel it keeps us connected. Being part of the community means that our offices, nurses, and providers all have long–standing relationships with each other.
Third, unlike many of our competitors, we are a not–for–profit organization. That means we are the type of organization that does not earn profits for its owners. All of the money earned by or donated to a not–for–profit organization is used in pursuing the organization’s objectives.
Fourth, we don’t just say we are caring, kind, and compassionate, we ARE! That is what we live for …that is what we do! We are true caretakers – that’s what makes us very proud!
