How do I get started?
Innovations
If you already have NC Innovations and would like to use Elite Care Services as your provider, contact your Care Coordinator and they can coordinate Elite Care Services becoming your new provider.
If you do not have NC Innovations and would like to start the process, contact Cardinal Innovations registry department at 704-939-7980 and join the NC Innovations waitlist. This waiver has a waitlist due to limited Medicaid funds. Cardinal is required to keep the waiver waitlist for our counties, but only the state government has the power to approve new or additional spaces; these spaces are called “slots”. If a slot is not available, we can add you to the waiver’s waitlist, also called the “Registry of Unmet Needs.” We know this is frustrating. While you or your loved one wait for a slot on the waiver to open, you may be eligible for other resources. See (b)(3) services
If you’d like to confirm that you or your loved one are on this waitlist, contact our registry department at 1-704-939-7980.
(b)(3)
If you are eligible for (b)(3) services and you already know which (b)(3) service you will like to receive, you can contact Elite Care Services directly at 704-982-4068. Elite Care Services will get in touch with Cardinal Innovations to start the eligibility process and ask for service approval.
