Care Coordination (previously known as Medicaid Service Coordination)

Medicaid Service Coordination (MSC) has transitioned to Care Coordination on July 1, 2018. This change from MSC to Care Coordination was to develop a conflict-free care coordination service, by discontinuing Medicaid  Service Coordination being provided by agencies that provided other services to individuals who are OPWDD eligible and creating independent care coordination service provision. Care Coordination assists persons with developmental disabilities and their families in gaining access to services and supports appropriate to their needs much like the services previously provided by Medicaid Service Coordination.
