DAHS:
The Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) will no longer enroll individuals in DAHS when their STAR+PLUS enrollment is pending. Since there is no immediate or expedited criteria for DAHS, these services will begin upon enrollment in the STAR+PLUS program.
Provider initiated referrals for DAHS Title XIX will no longer be allowed effective the date of this letter. From this date forth, any services provided in response to a provider initiated referral for an individual pending STAR+PLUS enrollment will not be reimbursed retroactively.
DADS will continue to provide Title XIX DAHS services to individuals receiving Medicaid who are not eligible to be enrolled in the STAR+PLUS program.
PHC:
DADS will continue to enroll individuals in PHC when their STAR+PLUS enrollment is pending if there is an immediate or expedited need for services.
