CDSA and MDCP:
DADS informed these providers and CDS employers using the Electronic Visit Verification System of the change in required documentation. An excerpt:
This letter updates the CDS information provided in Information Letter No. 10-117 and applies only to CDSAs and CDS employers in the MDCP program who use the DADS EVV system for respite or adjunct support services provided by an attendant.
CDS employers using the DADS EVV system no longer need to complete or keep a copy of DADS Form 1745, Service Delivery Log with Written Narrative/Written Summary in the in-home record. Effective March 15, 2012, the EVV report, called “Visits Summary by Client” report replaces Form 1745 in the in-home record.
— DADS revised Form 6509, Request for Authorization of IPC Over Cost Ceiling, and instructions.
— DADS is hosting a day-and-a-half workshop for caregivers, professionals, and all others who work with individuals who have intellectual disabilities and engage in challenging behaviors.
