The impact of federal health care reform is not limited to the domain of health care services. State eligibility systems are often used across health and human services programs, and eligibility workers determine eligibility for multiple programs. Is your state prepared to integrate all income and verification data into your systems, forms, and processes? Can your workers satisfy the new requirements while addressing increasing Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and Medicaid caseloads?

 

With 25 years of experience in the fi eld, Public Consulting Group (PCG) can help your organization to plan, test, and implement the changes necessary to prepare your workers and offi ces for new responsibilities and new models of service delivery. We can help you to streamline business processes, conduct training, identify process redundancy, and improve service delivery.
