What to have ready

  • ZIP code and preferred language
  • Days and times help is needed
  • Whether the person needs supervision, personal care, meals, or transportation
  • The program or funding source named by the screener

Words you can use

“Please tell me which Alliance-funded provider list applies to this service and ZIP code. Is this a referral, an authorization, or a list I must call myself?”

Steps in order

  1. 1

    Complete any required screening before calling every provider on a roster.

  2. 2

    Confirm the provider serves the ZIP and the authorized program.

  3. 3

    Ask about openings, wait time, language access, transportation, and any contribution or fee.

  4. 4

    Keep a call log and return to the Helpline if no listed provider can accept the case.

If the first answer is no or wait

Tell the Helpline which providers declined and why. Ask whether the authorization can move to another provider or whether a different program can cover the immediate task.
