MONTHLY DISCUSSION WITH YOUR
SERVICE FACILITATOR

Tell Your Services Facilitator
Changes to your MCO, Health Insurance Premium Payment (HIPP) Program Enrollment, or Medicaid eligibility affects your authorization for Personal Care, Respite, and Companion hours. Moms In Motion needs to know where to send authorization requests to. Your Service Facilitator is often one of the last to know about these types of changes. You must have an authorization in place with the appropriate entity and fiscal agent in order for your attendant to work and get paid. Don't risk a lapse in services.
At every visit:

Renewing Your Medicaid
Individuals on the CCC Plus & both of the DD Waivers (CL/FIS) are required to renew their Medicaid annually. A paper renewal application is usually mailed to the primary residence the month before the individual’s renewal month. You will not be required to have another screening.
- When completing the renewal application, only include information regarding the individual requesting Medicaid.
- Write “CCC Plus/Long Term Care” at the top of the form.
-
Section 5: Renewal of coverage in future years (optional) – to make it easier to determine your eligibility for help paying for health coverage in future years, you can agree to allow the Medicaid or FAMIS programs or the Marketplace to use income data, including information from tax returns. You will not receive a renewal application. Instead, you will receive notification of the outcome of your renewal. 5 years is the maximum number of years allowed.
You can renew using the following methods:
-
By phone:
- Call Cover Virginia at 1-855-242-8282
- TTY: 1-888-221-1590
-
By mail or in person: Complete the paper renewal form and return it to your local department of social services.
-
Find your local Social Services office here
Failure to complete and turn in your Medicaid renewal application could result in lapse of coverage. Call Cover Virginia at 1-855-242-8282 if you have any questions.

The Fiscal Employer Agent keeps payment records and follows all tax rules on the EOR’s behalf. The EOR employs the attendant(s).
