Getting Help from Your MLTC Plan
You can get answers to most questions about your VNS Health MLTC plan by calling your Care Team. They’ll often be able to address your need right then and there. If they can’t, they’ll connect you with the right person to get you the help you’re looking for. Scroll down to see who to contact for specific questions you may have about your plan.
To protect your privacy, we will always ask you to provide three pieces of information to identify yourself. You can use any three of the following:
- MLTC member ID number
- First and last name
- Date of birth
- Full address
- Phone number
- New York Medicaid ID number
We understand that you may need someone else to call on your behalf. To learn more about how to allow someone to represent you, visit our FAQs page.

When to Call Your Home Health Agency
Write down the name and number of the agency your home health aide comes from and keep the information handy. You’ll need it when:
- You have to change your aide’s schedule — the day or time of their visit.
- You need to temporarily stop your home health services because of a vacation or hospital stay.
- You have a problem or concern about your aide’s performance.
- You want a different aide from the same agency.
When to Call Your Care Team
- You need to temporarily stop all other services and deliveries because of a vacation or hospital stay. (You must also call your home health agency to suspend your home health services.)
- You have a problem or concern about the agency your aide comes from.
- You want to change to a different home health agency.
Your care manager or Care Team can give you the number of the company that sends you your medical supplies. You can call them directly when you need to reorder, as long as the delivery date is at least 30 days from the date of your last order. To check the status of an existing order, just call your Care Team.
For more information about ordering medical supplies, go to our Medical Supplies page.
