Once You are Confirmed

You will get a confirmation letter in the mail, stating that you qualify for medicaid.

You will then need to call Medicaid Long Term Bureau of Care 208.455.7150. and ask for a PCS (Personal Care Services) Assessment. They will schedule out a time for the States Nurse Reviewer to come into your home.

​

A nurse reviewer from the state will come into your home and evaluate your situation, she will interview you on your abilities and fill out a report that she brings back with her. At the end of the interview she will be handing you a paper that includes all the care agencies in the surrounding areas and that is when you choose the company that you feel will best fit your needs. We Recommend calling and interviewing them to get the best fit.

We hope this has helped with the process of getting PCS services for you or your loved one! If you have any lingering questions, feel free to call us any time and we will do our best to make you feel confident in this process!
