White Earth Long Term Care Consultation Services
White Earth Long Term Care Consultation Services
White Earth Band of the Ojibwe formed the Long-Term Care Consultation (LTCC) program in 2005.
At that time, White Earth began contracting with the state of Minnesota to provide case management and eligibility assessments for home- and community-based services (HCBS).
By administering several Medicaid waivers, White Earth LTCC now provides an array of HCBS.
