What is Acentra Health’s Level of Care Assessments solution, and who is it for?
Acentra Health’s Level of Care Assessments solution helps determine the right amount of care needed for Medicaid members with mental illnesses, disabilities, or long-term care needs. Built for state agencies, it reviews eligibility for state waiver programs (extra services beyond standard coverage), uses standardized tools to set care levels, and checks past decisions for accuracy.
