CHC Waiver Services

Integrated Care in Crucible

Crucible families begin Community HealthChoices enrollment by calling Maximus at 1-877-550-4227. Maximus is the Independent Enrollment Broker for Pennsylvania's mandatory Medicaid managed long-term care program. CHC covers adults 21 and older who are dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid, or who meet nursing-facility level-of-care criteria with Medicaid eligibility. A clinical functional eligibility determination confirms the need for long-term services and supports. Once approved, your loved one chooses one of three managed care organizations: UPMC Community HealthChoices, AmeriHealth Caritas, or PA Health & Wellness from Centene. Each MCO contracts with different home care agencies and providers, so the selection matters for caregiver continuity. Care Solutions of Pittsburgh works with each plan and sends personal assistance caregivers to Crucible homes. Our staff support bathing, dressing, mobility, meal preparation, and medication reminders. CHC also funds personal emergency response systems, home-delivered meals, adult day services, and environmental modifications such as ramps or grab bars. The Greene County Area Agency on Aging administers Aging Waiver eligibility under CHC for residents 60 and older. WVU Medicine Greene County Memorial Hospital in Waynesburg handles most hospital admissions, and our service coordinators align caregiver shifts with hospital discharge plans. Crucible is an unincorporated community in Cumberland Township along the Monongahela River in eastern Greene County near Rices Landing. Call (412) 341-7780 to schedule CHC support at home through 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 Crucible helps you navigate all aspects of your care.
