Qué pasa después de tocar
- All documents are due to the CMA within 90 calendar days of the request.
- If documents do not arrive within 90 days, the CMA closes the request and sends written notice.
- The CMA has 30 days to decide once it has all documents.
- If the answer is yes, the case manager does a Level of Care Screen, if one has not been done.
- If the answer is no, the CMA issues a Long-Term Care Notice of Action (LTC NOA). The family can ask the CMA for an informal review or request a State Fair Hearing.
- An informal review does not pause the appeal deadline.
