Questions about eligibility and enrollment?
We’ll come to you with answers. Enrollment in LIFE Geisinger is dependent on the older adult meeting certain eligibility
requirements. To determine if your aging loved one is eligible, we invite you to talk with one of our
professionals. Just call us toll free at 1-800-395-8759 for LIFE Geisinger Scranton or 1-
866-230-6465 for LIFE Geisinger Kulpmont and we’ll set up a time to visit you at your
home. Our enrollment specialists will review eligibility requirements, listen to your specific needs,
and answer all your questions. Next Steps Once you have met with a LIFE Geisinger representative, there are just a few more steps
to determine if our program is right for you or your loved one. After your initial home meeting with our LIFE Geisinger representative, enrollment
involves the following steps. - Because LIFE Geisinger is dedicated to serving only frail older adults who need
long-term care and are eligible for nursing home care, the local Area Agency on
Aging must confirm their medical eligibility for the program after our assessment.
The local County Assistance Office will determine their financial eligibility for the
program, if applicable.
- Our health team works with you to identify the older adult’s health needs and goals
for achieving the best quality of life. If our program services match their needs, we’ll
map out the types of services and schedule that might work best for you and your
loved one.
- Enrollment and final approval involves answering any final questions you have and
signing the Enrollment Agreement.
Two Things to Remember LIFE Geisinger services are fully covered if the participant is eligible for Medicare and
Medical Assistance. Since LIFE Geisinger provides comprehensive care for its participants, enrollment
means leaving (disenrolling) any other Medicare or Medical Assistance health plan.
However, the participant (with the caregiver’s assistance) can change back to another
appropriate Medicare/Medical Assistance program at any time. Assistance is provided
to help caregivers make arrangements in that event. |
