Getting Help from CHOICE
Most questions or concerns about your VNSNY CHOICE MLTC plan can be answered by calling the knowledgeable professionals at Member Services. Just explain your question to them, and they’ll often be able to address your need right then and there.
If Member Services cannot answer your question, they will connect you with the right member of your Care Team to get you the help you’re looking for.
To protect your privacy, Member Services will always ask you to provide three pieces of information to identify yourself. You can use any three of the following:
- CHOICE MLTC ID Number
- First and Last Name
- Date of Birth
- Full Address
- Phone Number
- New York Medicaid ID Number
We understand that you may need someone else to call on your behalf. To learn more about how to allow someone to represent you, go here.

- You need to temporarily stop your home health service because of vacation or a hospital stay.
- You have a problem or concern about your aide’s performance.
- You want a different aide from the same agency.

- You want to change to a different home health agency.
Your care manager or Member Services can give you the number of the company that sends you your medical supplies.
