Case Management & Service Coordination

The Epilepsy Foundation offers a variety of service coordination and case management programs.  Some services require certification/eligibility of the individual by Medicaid and/or OMRDD.  Other services do not require such certification.

Epilepsy Foundation is committed to serving individuals and their families; we'll work closely with you before, during, and after any eligibility process to find a way to provide you with services.

Please contact the nearest Epilepsy Foundation office so our counselors and social workers can work with you to determine eligibility.
