Once approved for the ALTCS benefit, Pinetop/Lakeside seniors partner with a Program Contractor to obtain their healthcare services.  Program contractors assign a case manager who can work closely with ALTCS members and their primary physicians to determine a suitable level of care.  ALTCS members then select healthcare providers from within a network, much like an HMO.  As questions about long-term healthcare come up, ALTCS members and their families can address them with their case manager.
