Medical Eligibility Assistance Services

To ensure continuity of care and smooth patient flow between sites, all patients at BHC are assigned a primary case manager who follows them throughout their course of treatment at BHC and in the community. A comprehensive needs assessment is conducted and an individualized plan of care established that addresses the comprehensive needs of the patient. Patients are screened for entitlement to public benefits (such as Medicaid, Medicare, SSI, SSDI, food stamps, etc.), assisted in completing required forms, in accessing BHC’s transitional and permanent housing or other housing available in the community, and in arranging transportation. Any patient needs not met by BHC providers are referred to other agencies and organizations for care and followed up by BHC staff to determine outcomes and recommendations for continued care.
