Service Definition<br />

Wellness Coordination services means the development, maintenance, and routine monitoring of the waiver<br />

participant’s Wellness Coordination plan and the medical services required to manage his or her health care<br />

needs.<br />

Wellness Coordination services extend beyond those services provided through routine doctor/health care<br />

visits required under the Medicaid State Plan and are specifically designed for participants requiring<br />

assistance of an RN or LPN to properly coordinate their medical needs:<br />

<br />

<br />

Tier I – Health care needs require at least weekly* consultation/review with RN or LPN, including<br />

face-to-face visits once a month.<br />

Tier II – Health care needs require at least weekly consultation/review with RN or LPN, including<br />

face-to-face visits at least twice monthly.<br />

Tier III – Health care needs require at least twice weekly consultation/review with RN or LPN,<br />

including face-to-face visits once a week.<br />

*Weekly – a calendar week (Sunday through Saturday)<br />

Conditions and Requirements<br />

Necessity for Wellness Coordination services will typically be reserved for participants assessed with health<br />

scores of 5 or higher through the State’s objective based allocation process. Participants assessed with health<br />

scores of 0-4 would not require assistance of an RN or LPN to coordinate medical needs. As medical events<br />

occur and/or a participant’s medical needs change, the Individual Support Team is expected to obtain<br />

reassessment for potential revision to the health score and to ensure utilization of the appropriate tier of<br />

services.<br />

Service Standards<br />

Reimbursement is available for Wellness Coordination services only when the following circumstances are<br />
