For participants who do not qualify for Medicaid, there is a flat monthly fee. For services to be covered, participants must follow the care plan approved by the care team. Each individual care plan is developed through a partnership with the participant, their caregivers and families, along with the health care team. Participants may be liable for unauthorized services. Call our LIFE enrollment specialist at 855-295-LIFE (5433) to learn more.
