The services affected were day programs and therapies. Prior to this new waiver being implemented, all of these services were paid under habilitation, under one provider and an all inclusive rate. HCFA required that DPA unbundle these services as part of the waiver approval process. HCFA also required quarterly reports which have been submitted as directed. The Department continues to work closely with DHS-ODD and to monitor the HCBS waiver program.
Monitoring consists of record and onsite reviews.
Review findings are shared with DHS-ODD and corrective action is taken. HCFA will be performing a management review of this waiver in June 2001, as it expires June 30, 2002. Elderly This waiver provides services to individuals who are 60 years and older, who would otherwise be in nursing facilities. The waiver served 16,776 individuals during Fiscal Year 2000. Services for this waiver primarily include homemaker and adult day care services.
