Nursing Facilities
Do you have health care needs that can’t be managed at home or in an assisted living setting? You may need to live in a Nursing Facility (NF). NFs are sometimes called Nursing Homes or Long-Term Care Facilities. They provide short- or long-term care services to those with physical and/or mental disabilities. NFs are for the elderly and young adults. These services may need prior authorization from your health plan.
