The I Choose ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ NJ program is fully funded by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) as part of an award totaling $16,402,420
I Choose ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ â€“ NJ (also known as Money Follows the Person) is a Federal program with two main goals:
Residents who are eligible for Medicaid and have been living in an institutional setting for more than 60 days may be able to move to an independent community setting with supports and services.
For the first year that the transitioned individual returns to live in the community, ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ receives an enhanced federal Medicaid match. Those extra funds are then reinvested to create more possibilities for others to remain in their homes with the services they need.
Since 2008, ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ’s I Choose ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ team has successfully transitioned 5,300+ people from institutions back into home and community-based settings. This has resulted in a Medicaid cost savings of $53+ million that the state has invested in home and community based services (HCBS) so that more ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ residents can age in their homes.
ICH-NJ is working to spread the message that A Nursing ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ May Not Be the Only Option.
