Advantage Case Management

ASI administers a case management program for qualified individuals on Oklahoma’s Medicaid Waiver Program/Advantage Program. Advantage Case Managers develop and monitor a customized plan of care to assist eligible individuals deemed to be at an institutional level of care by the Oklahoma Department of Human Services. The program’s goal is to give participants an opportunity to remain living at home with a combination of formal and informal assistance. Case Managers meet with the individual and /or family and then monitor services on a regular basis.

Would I qualify?

In order to qualify for the ADvantage program, you must meet both financial and medical qualifications. Financial qualifications are determined by a case worker at the local Department of Human Services county office. To meet medical qualifications, you must meet nursing home level of care, which is determined by a nurse at the local Department of Human Services county office.

The ADvantage Program provides an opportunity for frail elders and adults with physical disabilities to stay at home instead of residing in a nursing home. Persons served through this program can receive the services they need in their own home or in a family member’s home.

Administered by the Department of Human Services, Aging Services Division, the program is funded through a partnership between the federal and state governments via a waiver to the Medicaid Program.

The goal of the ADvantage Program is to offer a choice to those who would otherwise have to receive services in a nursing home. It is an appropriate service for individuals whose needs can best be met at home, but it does not replace nursing home care in all cases. It does not replace the care the family and friends provide in the home.

How to Apply

To apply, or if you have questions about the program, call the ADvantage Careline at 1-800-435-4711, or go to your local county Department of Human Services office.
