Effective Monday, June 16, 2025, the PA Consumer Service Center (Inspiritec) began accepting Long-Term Care (LTC) and Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) applications over the phone. Individuals can call 1-866-550-4355 to apply for Medicaid, including LTC and HCBS. This information can be found on the DHS website, as well.

To communicate this change, the Department of Human Services (DHS) publicized this info with external stakeholders, posted banner messaging to multiple DHS web pages, added messaging to the Statewide Customer Service Center (CSC) wait time menu, and shared this information internally. DHS also provided Consumer Service Center staff with additional information needed to accurately capture information specific to LTC and HCBS applications.

Questions regarding this initiative can be directed to the DHS helpline at 800-692-7462.

On behalf of the Pennsylvania Long-Term Care Learning Network, the Jewish Healthcare Foundation invites you to join the next special population webinar on October 13, 2022.

Going Beyond “Great Job!” With Appreciation That Impacts Lives
This webinar will continue to follow this quarter’s education theme, addressing workforce challenges. We all share the same need to feel appreciated for our contributions, yet only 3 in 10 US employees strongly agree that in the last seven days they have received recognition or praise for doing good work (Gallup, 2017). Using an interactive exercise, this session will explore a different way of expressing appreciation that supports connection and wellbeing.

Please invite the following Special Population Team Members:

  • Nursing Home Administrators;
  • Directors of Nursing;
  • Nurse Managers;
  • Medical Directors;
  • Service Coordinator Supervisors; and
  • Human Resource Team Members.

VISIT HERE to register for this Zoom webinar scheduled on Thursday, October 13, at 2:00 pm.

You will need your National Provider Identifier (NPI) to register. (If you do not have one or do not know it, please enter 0 on the registration form)

REMINDER: If you have not already registered for the October 6, 2022, Nursing Facility Webinar: Protecting and Preserving our Workforce by Preventing Common Injuries, VISIT HERE.

The Learning Network is part of the Department of Human Services’ Quality Strategy for Nursing Facilities, offered as a collaboration of the Community HealthChoices Managed Care Organizations.
