Universal Citation: AR Admin Rules 016.06.12-009

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 9, September, 2024

Section I

105.120 Autism Waiver 10-1-12

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:

1. Individual Assessment, Program Development and Training

2. Provision of Therapeutic Aides

3. Plan Implementation and Monitoring of Intervention Effectiveness

4. Lead Therapy Intervention

5. Line Therapy Intervention

6. Consultative Clinical and Therapeutic Services

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.

105.130 ConnectCare: Primary Care Case Management (PCCM) 10-1-12

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.

105.140 DDS Alternative Community Services (ACS) 10-1-12

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:

A. Supportive living

B. Respite care

C. Supplemental support services

D. Supported employment services

E. Environmental modifications

F. Adaptive equipment

A. Adult foster care

B. Homemaker services

C. Chore services

D. Home delivered meals

E. Personal emergency response system

F. Adult day care
