Who is eligible to use this program?
UCare plan members with Minnesota Senior Health Options (MSHO), UCare Connect + Medicare, and UCare Advocate Choice and UCare Advocate Plus (HMO I-SNP) are eligible for Caregiver Assurance.

Does my Personal Care Assistant (PCA) qualify to use the Caregiver Assurance program?
Individuals who are not considered a professional PCA paid through an agency to provide your PCA care are eligible to use Caregiver Assurance. Access to Caregiver Assurance is available to a spouse or a parent who may qualify to be paid through Community First Services and Supports (CFSS).

Are interpreter services available for non-English speaking members?
