(E) Claims for the provision of HCBS will be submitted in accordance with the process specified in rule 5123-9-06 of the Administrative Code.

(F) Claims for the provision of HCBS will be paid as indicated in this rule when the following conditions exist:

(1) The waiver service is provided to an individual who is enrolled in the individual options waiver program at the time of service; and

(2) The waiver service is provided within the limitations specified by the individual options waiver program in which the individual is enrolled; and

(3) The waiver service is provided to an enrollee who is not an inpatient of a hospital, unless otherwise permitted in other HCBS waiver program rules pertaining to acute care, and is not residing in a nursing facility or an intermediate care facility for individuals with intellectual disabilities (ICF/IID).
