To further improve efficiency in this area, we converted to sending electronic referrals to our vendors for ride authorization and we moved to electronic billing for MA transportation payments. Realigned our health care contact worker duties to integrate both community and long term care workers Continued to lead the regional Long Term Care collaborative. Streamlined the determination of Cost Effective Insurance eligibility by utilizing three health care experts to process for the cash and food team. This allows consistency and assures program integrity in this area. Established a customer care line for the agency; this began our process of broadening the call center into a two-tier model. We are now using eligibility specialists for front-line callers to assist in one-stop resolution to eligibility questions Health Care Annual Report- Olmsted County
