Agency 016 - DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES
Division 06 - Medical Services
Rule 016.06.12-009 - Autism Waiver and Manual
Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 9, September, 2024
Section I
The purpose of the Autism waiver is to provide one-on-one, intensive early intervention treatment for young children ages eighteen (18) months through six (6) years with a diagnosis of autism. The waiver participants must meet the ICF/MR level of care and have a diagnosis of autism.
The community-based services offered through the Autism waiver are as follows:
The waiver program is operated by the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) Partners under the administrative authority of the Division of Medical Services.
ConnectCare is the Arkansas Medicaid Primary Care Case Management (PCCM) system. In ConnectCare, a Medicaid beneficiary selects and enrolls with a primary care physician (PCP) that has contracted with DMS to be responsible for managing the health care of a limited number (specified by the PCP) of Medicaid enrollees.
A PCP contracts with DMS to provide primary care, health education and case management for his or her enrollees. DMS pays the PCP a monthly per-enrollee case management fee in addition to the regular Medicaid fee-for-service reimbursement.
The PCP is responsible for referring enrollees to specialists and other providers; therefore, he or she is responsible for deciding whether a particular referral is medically necessary. A PCP may make such decisions in consultation with physicians or other professionals as needed and in accordance with his or her medical training and experience; however, a PCP is not required to make any referral simply because it is requested.
A PCP coordinates his or her enrollees' medical and rehabilitative services with the providers of those services. Medical and rehabilitative professionals to whom a PCP refers a patient are required to report to or consult with the PCP so that the PCP can coordinate care and monitor an enrollee's status, progress and outcomes.
Most Medicaid beneficiaries, and children participating in ARKids First-B, must enroll with a PCP to receive covered services. Some individuals are not required to enroll with a PCP. Few services are covered without PCP referral. See Sections 170.000 through 173.000 for details regarding ConnectCare.
The Developmental Disability Services Alternative Community Services (DDS ACS) waiver program is for beneficiaries who, without the waiver's services, would require institutionalization. Participants must not be residents of a hospital, nursing facility or intermediate care facility for the mentally retarded (ICF/MR).
DDS ACS eligibility requires a determination of categorical eligibility, a determination of level of care, the development of a plan of care and a cost comparison to determine the cost- effectiveness of the plan of care. The DDS ACS program further requires advising the beneficiary that he or she may freely choose between waiver and institutional services.
Services supplied through this program are:
Detailed information may be found in the DDS ACS Waiver provider manual.
ElderChoices is designed for beneficiaries aged 65 and older, who, without the waiver's services, would require an intermediate level of care in a nursing home. The services listed below are designed to maintain beneficiaries at home and preclude or postpone institutionalization.
Elder Choices eligibility requires a determination of categorical eligibility, a determination of level of care, the development of a plan of care and a cost comparison to determine the cost-effectiveness of the plan of care. ElderChoices requires notifying the beneficiary that he or she may freely choose between waiver services and institutional services.
Refer to the ElderChoices provider manual for more detailed information.
