Universal Citation: MS Code of Rules 23-208-5.13

Current through September 24, 2024

A. If it is determined that an applicant does not meet Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ICF/IID) level of care (LOC) at the completion of an initial evaluation by the Diagnostic and Evaluation (D&E) team, the applicant and/or guardian or legal representative may request reconsideration from DMH.

B. Decisions that result in services being denied, terminated, or reduced may be appealed according to DMH appeal procedures.

1. If the participant and/or guardian or legal representative disagrees with the decision made by DMH regarding services being denied, terminated, or reduced, a written request to appeal the decision may then be made to the Executive Director of the Division of Medicaid. [Refer to Miss. Admin. Code, Part 300.]

2. During the appeals process, contested services that were already in place must remain in place, unless the decision is for immediate termination due to possible danger, racial considerations or sexual harassment of the service providers. The ID/DD Waiver support coordinator is responsible for ensuring that the beneficiary continues to receive all services that were in place prior to the notice of change.

42 CFR Part 431, Subpart E; Miss. Code Ann. §§ 41-4-7, 43-13-116, 43-13-121.
