coordinator 24/7
• Uses specific clinical initiatives that focus
on the unique needs of people with disabilities
• Engages members
in all their decisions, so they are able to be responsible for their
own health status
AXIS Healthcare’s approach to disability care has led to better
health outcomes for our members, including shorter hospital and nursing
home stays, decreased emergency room visits and more efficient processing
of medical supplies and equipment. We work to ensure effective communication
between our members, their families and care-givers, and providers.
You can receive care coordination
from AXIS in three different ways.
1. Minnesota Disability
Health Options
(MnDHO) MnDHO is a partnership
between the MN Department of Human Services, UCare and AXIS and is
available at no cost to people who are on Medical Assistance, have
a physical disability, live in the 7-county metro area, and are age
18-65.
2. AccessAbility
AccessAbility
is a partnership between Medica and AXIS and is available at no cost
to people who are on Medical Assistance, have a physical or developmental
disability, live in the 11-county metro area, and are age 18-65.
AccessAbility does not include waiver services; those must still
be accessed through the county
3. Private Pay
We bill the
member or family directly for our services based on a contract that
we develop jointly.
Specific information about the benefits and eligibility criteria for
these programs can be found on our Web site.
AXIS Healthcare is an
innovative model of disability care coordination because it puts
you, the person with disabilities, at the center of everything—rather
than the insurance provider, health care provider, or equipment
supplier.
“Before I joined
AXIS, I felt like I was a number in the system. When I call AXIS,
they know my name.”
