The only way that a person can acknowledge changes to the plan is through the signature and date lines on the preapproval form. Both must be current and this can only be done by the person served or their guardian. However, as always, you may do a modification at anytime to reduce or eliminate services, to end a plan or to terminate an individual from the adult waiver. So there is no confusion, modifications will not be approved unless the person served is in extreme risk before the next plan can be implemented. Any modification to a plan not yet approved will be returned.
Modifications are only good from the signed date of approval on the preapproval form.
No matter what date you want the modification to begin, any service provided prior the date of the Division s signature cannot be billed to the adult waiver. Although these services may have been provided all along, the Division will be unable to fund any modification prior to the date of approval. Modifications are good only from the date of approval. You Can Only Modify Approved Plans Not infrequently, the Division will get modifications on plans that have not yet been approved. Modifications can only be made to approved plans.
