- DADS previously allowed CWP HCSSAs to use either the Form 3650, Level-of-Care (LOC) or Form 8578 to make an assignment of an individual’s Level of Care (LOC) and Level of Need (LON), when necessary. Those providers now must use the Form 8578, Mental Retardation/Related Condition Assessment to make an assignment of LOC and LON, when necessary.
- Providers may subscribe to a new e-mail update category called MDS and MN/LOC 2.0 to 3.0.
