Information Letter 14-26
The purpose of this Information Letter (IL) is to provide information and recommendations
for Deaf Blind with Multiple Disabilities (DBMD) program providers regarding maintaining
1) continuously current level of care (LOC) authorizations through approved Intellectual Disability/Related Conditions (ID/RC) forms, 2) continuously current service authorizations through approved Individual Plans of Care (IPCs), and 3) continuously current financial eligibility for all individuals enrolled in the DBMD program.
DADS is developing additional resources to provide information about the importance of avoiding lapses in LOC and IPC authorizations and loss of financial eligibility for the waiver programs. These resources may include alerts, webinars, trainings, an electronic frequently asked questions document, and other stakeholder forums.
Please send questions related to this IL to the DBMD mailbox at dbmd@dads.state.tx.us.
