Integrated Care in Belle Vernon

Belle Vernon families starting Community HealthChoices contact Maximus at 1-877-550-4227 to begin enrollment. CHC is Pennsylvania's mandatory Medicaid managed long-term services program for adults 21 and older. Eligibility requires dual Medicare and Medicaid status, or Medicaid plus a nursing-facility level-of-care need confirmed through a clinical assessment. After functional eligibility is approved, your loved one selects one of three managed care organizations: UPMC Community HealthChoices, AmeriHealth Caritas, or PA Health & Wellness from Centene. Each plan has its own provider network, so the choice determines which caregiver agencies and physicians remain available. Care Solutions of Pittsburgh holds contracts with each MCO and delivers personal assistance services to Belle Vernon homes. Our caregivers help with bathing, grooming, meal preparation, mobility, and medication reminders. CHC also funds personal emergency response devices, home-delivered meals, adult day programs, and environmental modifications like stair lifts or bathroom safety upgrades. The Fayette County Area Agency on Aging handles Aging Waiver eligibility under CHC for residents 60 and older. Mon Valley Hospital sits a short distance away and coordinates many discharges back to Belle Vernon, so our service coordinators time caregiver visits to align with hospital transition plans. The borough sits along the Monongahela River in northern Fayette County near the Westmoreland line. Call (412) 341-7780 to arrange CHC personal assistance hours under any of the three MCOs.

Community HealthChoices (CHC) is Pennsylvania's mandatory managed care program that brings together physical health, behavioral health, and long-term services and supports into one coordinated program. Our team in Belle Vernon helps you navigate all aspects of your care.
