Section 10.31: Structured Family Caregiving (currently under CIHW only and ends 9/30/2016<br />
if CIHW 2 nd Amendment is approved)<br />
Service Definition<br />
Structured Family Caregiving (SFC) is a living arrangement in which a participant lives in the private home of a<br />
principal caregiver who may be a non-family member (foster care) or a family member who is not the<br />
participant’s spouse, the parent of the participant who is a minor, or the legal guardian of the minor<br />
participant.<br />
Necessary support services are provided by the principal caregiver (family caregiver) as part of SFC. Only<br />
agencies may be SFC providers, with the SFC settings being approved, supervised, trained, and paid by the<br />
approved agency provider. The provider agency must conduct two visits per month to the home – one by a<br />
Registered Nurse and one by a SFC Home Manager. The provider agency must keep daily notes that can be<br />
accessed by the State.<br />
Service Levels and Rates<br />
There are three service levels of SFC, each with a unique rate. Beginning January 1, 2013, the Algo level<br />
assigned to the participant will drive and determine the appropriate level of SFC service and reimbursement<br />
