DADS released two information letters.
CBA HCSSA:
The letter updates the DADS policy regarding the approval of vehicle modifications as adaptive aids for the CBA program and helps ensure vehicle modifications are cost effective. (Letter)
CBA:
As part of a broader ongoing effort to provide more flexibility in structuring contracts this Information Letter (IL) addresses a specific concern raised by providers of Community Based Alternatives (CBA) waiver services. CBA providers have requested the Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) allow multi-regional contracts to address an issue created with the expansion of STAR+PLUS across DADS regions. In most regions where expansion of STAR+PLUS has occurred, some counties in the region are not included in the STAR+PLUS service area. Providers have requested DADS allow these non-STAR+PLUS counties to be added to existing CBA contracts covering other regions.
— The MDS 3.0 RAI User’s Manual update, originally scheduled for implementation on October 1, 2012, has been delayed.
