Liberty Healthcare

Liberty Healthcare Corporation is a health and human services management company that works with public agencies to address healthcare and community-service needs. The company says it has more than 30 years of experience and a national reputation for leadership and for tackling complex healthcare challenges. Its work includes human and healthcare management services, clinical staffing, and quality assurance.

In Idaho, Liberty operates Idaho Independent Assessment Services under contract with the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare’s Division of Medicaid. The program conducts functional assessments and recommends eligibility for Medicaid waiver services for adults and children with developmental disabilities. It also provides eligibility assessments for children’s mental health services through the state’s Youth Empowerment Services (YES) program.

The assessment process includes scheduling, interviews about an individual’s medical, social, developmental, or mental health history, and review of relevant supporting documents. For adults who qualify for developmental disability waiver services, an assessment may help calculate an annual budget.
