DADS released one PL and one IL/PL.
All ICF/IID:
DADS clarified the CMS Survey & Clarification Letter 13-11-ICF/IID, No Longer Certified Under Time-Limited Agreements, issued on February 8, 2013. An excerpt:
CMS eliminated the requirement for TLAs on May 16, 2012. Since the ACC was tied to the TLA, the ACC has also been eliminated. DADS will survey an ICF/IID on an average of every 12 months and at least every 15 months. The provider agreement will not have a termination date and will remain in effect as long as the ICF/IID complies with the terms of the agreement, including remaining in substantial compliance with the conditions of participation (COPs).
All NF Administrators:
This letter updates IL No. 13-17 and PL 13-12, Minimum Data Set 3.0 Section Q: Referral to the Community, NF Responsibilities, and Local Contact Agency Information, published March 27, 2013, to provide correct contact information for Local Contact Agencies. (Letter)
