Once a referral has been made with the Department of Mental Health Call Center the application is then forwarded to NCA 310 for processing. NCA contacts the family and requests the following information:
• A copy of a psychological evaluation and test results that occurred before the individual’s 18 birthday
• A copy of a psychological evaluation and test results after age 18
• Medicaid care and social security card
• If the individual is still in high school please provide copies of IEP. Once all pertinent records have been received, a Service Coordinator will meet with the family and complete additional required documentation. The Service Coordinator will process the referral to Regional Community Services where the person will be determined eligible or ineligible for the Alabama State Waiting List. Eligibility
Services are provided to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities living in Morgan, Lawrence and Limestone counties who meet the Department of Mental Health guidelines. Once a person is identified from the Alabama State Waiting List as eligible for services, a service coordinator is assigned to assist in finding the most appropriate services for the person being served by NCA 310.
