What is statewide and what is local?
| Statewide | Local / provider-specific |
|---|---|
| NJ FamilyCare and MLTSS eligibility framework | County entry point for applicants who do not already have Medicaid |
| Clinical level-of-care standard | Which facilities are near the resident |
| Financial eligibility rules | Whether a specific provider currently participates |
| MCO-administered MLTSS structure | Availability, admission criteria and resident-specific charges |
Phase 4D publication rule
We do not create a Medicaid page for every municipality by swapping city names. A local page must add a meaningful county application pathway, provider-search context and enough standalone decision value to justify indexation.
