Section 1.8: Waiver Service Providers Waiver Service Providers are agencies, companies, and individuals that the Division of Disability and Rehabilitative Services (DDRS) has approved and that are paid by Medicaid to provide direct services to Medicaid waiver program participants. All waiver participants must have Case Management services. Waiver participants are provided a choice from among all Case Management Companies (CMCOs) that have been approved by DDRS/BDDS. After the CMCO has been chosen, the waiver participant will then chose a permanent case manager. The waiver participant’s chosen case manager provides a list of available service providers at any time that the participant desires to select or change service providers, which includes changing providers of Case Management services upon request. See Section 1.11: Helpful Hints for Participants and Guardians on How to Select Waiver Providers. Section 1.9: Hearings and Appeals Hearings and Appeals is an administrative section within FSSA that receives and processes appeals from people receiving services within any FSSA program and many others. Administrative hearings are held throughout the State of Indiana, usually at county Division of Family Resources locations, at which time all parties have the opportunity to present their case to an Administrative Law Judge. Section 1.10: Participants and Guardians It is the policy of the DDRS’ Bureau of Developmental Disabilities (BDDS) that individuals, or their legal representative when indicated, participate actively and responsibly in the administration and management of their Medicaid waiver-funded services. BDDS supports and encourages individual choice in the selection of the participant’s Case Management service provider, in the development of an Individualized Support Plan (ISP) and in the selection of all other service providers. Successful service delivery is dependent upon the collaboration of the Individual Support Team (IST) and entities with oversight responsibilities, including the Bureau of Quality Improvement Services (BQIS). The individual receiving services is the most prominent member of the IST, making their participation and cooperation in waiver service planning and administration essential. 12
Information Sharing The Individual (or the Individual’s legal representative when indicated) must upon request from BDDS, BQIS or any Division of Disability and Rehabilitative Services (DDRS) contracted vendor, provide information for the purpose of administration and/or management of waiver services. Selecting or Changing Providers When selecting a Case Management provider, the individual/participant (or the individual’s legal representative when indicated) shall participate in: Choosing a Case Management Company (provider agency) from a pick list of approved Case Management Companies o For newly approved applicants preparing to enter into waiver services, the Case Management pick list is generated by the DDRS/BDDS o For individuals already active on the waiver, the Case Management pick list may be generated by the DDRS/BDDS or by their current provider of Case Management services Interviewing and choosing a permanent case manager Completing the service planning process The individual (or the individual’s legal representative when indicated) shall complete all actions as requested by BDDS to secure any replacement provider within: Sixty calendar days from the date the change is requested; or Sixty calendar days from when the provider gives notice of terminating services to the individual. If a new provider is not in place after 60 calendar days, the current provider shall continue to provide services to an individual. See Section 1.11 (below) for Helpful Hints for Participants and Guardians on How to Select Waiver Providers Participating in Risk Plan Development and Implementation The individual (or the individual’s legal representative when indicated) shall participate in: the development of risk plans for the individual, per current BDDS and/or BQIS procedures; and the implementation of risk plans developed for the individual, in lieu of documented risk negotiation with the individual’s Individual Support Team, and a signed risk non-agreement document. Allowing Representatives of the State into the Individual’s Home The individual (or the individual’s legal representative when indicated) shall allow representatives from BDDS, BQIS, the selected Case Management agency and/or any DDRS-contracted vendor into the individual’s home for visits scheduled at least 72 hours prior.
