Conflict Free Evaluation and Enrollment Center (CFEEC): The CFEEC is a subdivision of NYMC, which evaluates whether you need long term care services and determines whether you are eligible for MLTC. The CFEEC is available Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 8:00 pm, or Saturday, 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, at 1-855-222-8350; TTY: 1-888-329-1546; or via email CF.Evaluation.Center@health.ny.gov. If you want to join a MLTC plan for the first time, or if you have not been in a plan for 45 days or longer, the initial eligibility determination for MLTC will be made by the CFEEC, or other entity designated by NYS Department of Health. If you wish to enroll in RiverSpring at Home, you need to inform the CFEEC of your choice. You do not need a CFEEC Evaluation if you are already receiving Medicaid home care outside of a managed care plan or if you are transferring from another MLTC plan.
