- Your Care Manager
- Your Primary Care Provider (PCP) or a designee from your PCP’s practice who has clinical experience and knowledge of your needs
- Your Behavioral Health (BH) Professional, if you have one, or a designee from your BH Professional’s practice who has clinical experience and knowledge of your needs
- Your home care aide(s), or a designee with clinical experience from the home care agency who has knowledge of your needs, if you are receiving home care and approve the home care aide/designee’s participation on the IDT
- A clinical representative from your nursing facility, if receiving nursing facility care; and
- Additional individuals including:
- Other providers either as requested by you or your designee, or as recommended by the IDT members as necessary for adequate care planning and approved by you or your designee; or
