Long-Term Care & MLTC

Medicaid-managed care for people who need long-term services and supports.

What is MLTC?

MLTC (Managed Long Term Care) is a Medicaid managed care program for people who need long-term services and supports for an extended period—often in-home services like home health aides, personal care, physical therapy, or nursing.

People typically get assessed and enroll through NY Medicaid Choice or directly with a plan. Plans coordinate all your care including doctors, medications, and home services.

What It Helps With

  • Home health aides
  • Personal care attendants
  • Nursing services at home
  • Physical, occupational, speech therapy
  • Medical equipment & supplies
  • Care coordination

Who It's For

Adults and seniors who need help with daily activities (bathing, dressing, eating, mobility) for an extended time, and who are on Medicaid. You must need more than 120 days of services.
