Provider and service specification changes
Updates to provider qualifications, case management specs, new services, and family-member provisions
The proposed rule revises provider qualifications and service specifications across multiple HCBS 1915(c) waivers. Providers must meet the updated qualification and requirement language, adhere to revised case management service specifications, and incorporate two new services — medication management and environmental safety services — into their service offerings where applicable. The rule also changes provisions about when family members may provide services and will define “legally responsible persons,” which may affect who is eligible to deliver certain services.
- Comply with updated provider qualifications and requirements as amended in the Administrative Code.
- Follow revised case management service specifications and any new provider qualification criteria tied to case management.
- Implement offering/documentation for new services: medication management and environmental safety services when applicable.
- Apply revised rules on provision of services by family members and use the updated definition of “legally responsible persons” when determining provider eligibility.
