U.S. Code › Title 42 › Chapter 7 › Subchapter XIX › § 1396t 42 U.S. Code § 1396t - Home and community care for functionally disabled elderly individuals
“Home and community care” defined In this subchapter, the term “home and community care” means one or more of the following services furnished to an individual who has been determined, after an assessment under subsection (c) of this section, to be a functionally disabled elderly individual, furnished in accordance with an individual community care plan (established and periodically reviewed and revised by a qualified community care case manager under subsection (d) of this section):
Homemaker/home health aide services.
Chore services.
Nursing care services provided by, or under the supervision of, a registered nurse.
Training for family members in managing the individual.
In the case of an individual with chronic mental illness, day treatment or other partial hospitalization, psychosocial rehabilitation services, and clinic services (whether or not furnished in a facility).
Such other home and community-based services (other than room and board) as the Secretary may approve.
“Functionally disabled elderly individual” defined (1)
In general In this subchapter, the term “functionally disabled elderly individual” means an individual who—
is 65 years of age or older,
is determined to be a functionally disabled individual under subsection (c) of this section, and
subject to section 1396a
(f) of this title (as applied consistent with section 1396a
(r)(2) of this title), is receiving supplemental security income benefits under subchapter XVI of this chapter (or under a State plan approved under subchapter XVI of this chapter) or, at the option of the State, is described in section 1396a
(a)(10)(C) of this title.
Treatment of certain individuals previously covered under a waiver (A)
In the case of a State which—
at the time of its election to provide coverage for home and community care under this section has a waiver approved under section 1396n
(c) or 1396n
(d) of this title with respect to individuals 65 years of age or older, and
subsequently discontinues such waiver, individuals who were eligible for benefits under the waiver as of the date of its discontinuance and who would, but for income or resources, be eligible for medical assistance for home and community care under the plan shall, notwithstanding any other provision of this subchapter, be deemed a functionally disabled elderly individual for so long as the individual would have remained eligible for medical assistance under such waiver.
In the case of a State which used a health insuring organization before January 1, 1986, and which, as of December 31, 1990, had in effect a waiver under section 1315 of this title that provides under the State plan under this subchapter for personal care services for functionally disabled individuals, the term “functionally disabled elderly individual” may include, at the option of the State, an individual who—
is 65 years of age or older or is disabled (as determined under the supplemental security income program under subchapter XVI of this chapter);
is determined to meet the test of functional disability applied under the waiver as of such date; and
meets the resource requirement and income standard that apply in the State to individuals described in section 1396a
(a)(10)(A)(ii)(V) of this title.
Use of projected income In applying section 1396b
(f)(1) of this title in determining the eligibility of an individual (described in section 1396a
(a)(10)(C) of this title) for medical assistance for home and community care, a State may, at its option, provide for the determination of the individual’s anticipated medical expenses (to be deducted from income) over a period of up to 6 months.

is unable to perform without substantial assistance from another individual at least 2 of the following 3 activities of daily living: toileting, transferring, and eating; or
has a primary or secondary diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease and is (i)
unable to perform without substantial human assistance (including verbal reminding or physical cueing) or supervision at least 2 of the following 5 activities of daily living: bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring, and eating; or (ii)
cognitively impaired so as to require substantial supervision from another individual because he or she engages in inappropriate behaviors that pose serious health or safety hazards to himself or herself or others.
Assessments of functional disability (A)
Requests for assessments If a State has elected to provide home and community care under this section, upon the request of an individual who is 65 years of age or older and who meets the requirements of subsection (b)(1)(C) of this section (or another person on such individual’s behalf), the State shall provide for a comprehensive functional assessment under this subparagraph which—
is used to determine whether or not the individual is functionally disabled,
is based on a uniform minimum data set specified by the Secretary under subparagraph (C)(i), and
uses an instrument which has been specified by the State under subparagraph (B).
No fee may be charged for such an assessment.
Specification of assessment instrument The State shall specify the instrument to be used in the State in complying with the requirement of subparagraph (A)(iii) which instrument shall be—
one of the instruments designated under subparagraph (C)(ii); or
an instrument which the Secretary has approved as being consistent with the minimum data set of core elements, common definitions, and utilization guidelines specified by the Secretary in subparagraph (C)(i).
Specification of assessment data set and instruments The Secretary shall—
not later than July 1, 1991—
specify a minimum data set of core elements and common definitions for use in conducting the assessments required under subparagraph (A); and
establish guidelines for use of the data set; and
by not later than July 1, 1991, designate one or more instruments which are consistent with the specification made under subparagraph (A) and which a State may specify under subparagraph (B) for use in complying with the requirements of subparagraph (A).
Periodic review Each individual who qualifies as a functionally disabled elderly individual shall have the individual’s assessment periodically reviewed and revised not less often than once every 12 months.
Conduct of assessment by interdisciplinary teams An assessment under subparagraph (A) and a review under subparagraph (D) must be conducted by an interdisciplinary team designated by the State. The Secretary shall permit a State to provide for assessments and reviews through teams under contracts—
with public organizations; or
with nonpublic organizations which do not provide home and community care or nursing facility services and do not have a direct or indirect ownership or control interest in, or direct or indirect affiliation or relationship with, an entity that provides, community care or nursing facility services.
Contents of assessment The interdisciplinary team must—
identify in each such assessment or review each individual’s functional disabilities and need for home and community care, including information about the individual’s health status, home and community environment, and informal support system; and
based on such assessment or review, determine whether the individual is (or continues to be) functionally disabled.
The results of such an assessment or review shall be used in establishing, reviewing, and revising the individual’s ICCP under subsection (d)(1) of this section.
Appeal procedures Each State which elects to provide home and community care under this section must have in effect an appeals process for individuals adversely affected by determinations under subparagraph (F).
Individual community care plan (ICCP) (1)
“Individual community care plan” defined In this section, the terms “individual community care plan” and “ICCP” mean, with respect to a functionally disabled elderly individual, a written plan which—

specifies, within any amount, duration, and scope limitations imposed on home and community care provided under the State plan, the home and community care to be provided to such individual under the plan, and indicates the individual’s preferences for the types and providers of services; and
may specify other services required by such individual.
An ICCP may also designate the specific providers (qualified to provide home and community care under the State plan) which will provide the home and community care described in subparagraph (B). Nothing in this section shall be construed as authorizing an ICCP or the State to restrict the specific persons or individuals (who are competent to provide home and community care under the State plan) who will provide the home and community care described in subparagraph (B).
“Qualified community care case manager” defined In this section, the term “qualified community care case manager” means a nonprofit or public agency or organization which—

is responsible for (i)
assuring that home and community care covered under the State plan and specified in the ICCP is being provided, (ii)
visiting each individual’s home or community setting where care is being provided not less often than once every 90 days, and (iii)

Survey and certification process (1)
Certifications (A)
Responsibilities of the State Under each State plan under this subchapter, the State shall be responsible for certifying the compliance of providers of home and community care and community care settings with the applicable requirements of subsections (f), (g) and (h) of this section. The failure of the Secretary to issue regulations to carry out this subsection shall not relieve a State of its responsibility under this subsection.
Responsibilities of the Secretary The Secretary shall be responsible for certifying the compliance of State providers of home and community care, and of State community care settings in which such care is provided, with the requirements of subsections (f), (g) and (h) of this section.
Frequency of certifications Certification of providers and settings under this subsection shall occur no less frequently than once every 12 months.
Reviews of providers (A)
In general The certification under this subsection with respect to a provider of home or community care must be based on a periodic review of the provider’s performance in providing the care required under ICCP’s in accordance with the requirements of subsection (f) of this section.
Special reviews of compliance Where the Secretary has reason to question the compliance of a provider of home or community care with any of the requirements of subsection (f) of this section, the Secretary may conduct a review of the provider and, on the basis of that review, make independent and binding determinations concerning the extent to which the provider meets such requirements.
Surveys of community care settings (A)
In general The certification under this subsection with respect to community care settings must be based on a survey. Such survey for such a setting must be conducted without prior notice to the setting. Any individual who notifies (or causes to be notified) a community care setting of the time or date on which such a survey is scheduled to be conducted is subject to a civil money penalty of not to exceed $2,000. The provisions of section 1320a–7a of this title (other than subsections (a) and (b)) shall apply to a civil money penalty under the previous sentence in the same manner as such provisions apply to a penalty or proceeding under section 1320a–7a
(a) of this title. The Secretary shall review each State’s procedures for scheduling and conducting such surveys to assure that the State has taken all reasonable steps to avoid giving notice of such a survey through the scheduling procedures and the conduct of the surveys themselves.
Survey protocol Surveys under this paragraph shall be conducted based upon a protocol which the Secretary has provided for under subsection (k) of this section.
Prohibition of conflict of interest in survey team membership A State and the Secretary may not use as a member of a survey team under this paragraph an individual who is serving (or has served within the previous 2 years) as a member of the staff of, or as a consultant to, the community care setting being surveyed (or the person responsible for such setting) respecting compliance with the requirements of subsection (g) or (h) of this section or who has a personal or familial financial interest in the setting being surveyed.
Validation surveys of community care settings The Secretary shall conduct onsite surveys of a representative sample of community care settings in each State, within 2 months of the date of surveys conducted under subparagraph (A) by the State, in a sufficient number to allow inferences about the adequacies of each State’s surveys conducted under subparagraph (A). In conducting such surveys, the Secretary shall use the same survey protocols as the State is required to use under subparagraph (B). If the State has determined that an individual setting meets the requirements of subsection (g) of this section, but the Secretary determines that the setting does not meet such requirements, the Secretary’s determination as to the setting’s noncompliance with such requirements is binding and supersedes that of the State survey.
Special surveys of compliance Where the Secretary has reason to question the compliance of a community care setting with any of the requirements of subsection (g) or (h) of this section, the Secretary may conduct a survey of the setting and, on the basis of that survey, make independent and binding determinations concerning the extent to which the setting meets such requirements.
Investigation of complaints and monitoring of providers and settings Each State and the Secretary shall maintain procedures and adequate staff to investigate complaints of violations of applicable requirements imposed on providers of community care or on community care settings under subsections (f), (g) and (h) of this section.
Investigation of allegations of individual neglect and abuse and misappropriation of individual property The State shall provide, through the agency responsible for surveys and certification of providers of home or community care and community care settings under this subsection, for a process for the receipt, review, and investigation of allegations of individual neglect and abuse (including injuries of unknown source) by individuals providing such care or in such setting and of misappropriation of individual property by such individuals. The State shall, after notice to the individual involved and a reasonable opportunity for hearing for the individual to rebut allegations, make a finding as to the accuracy of the allegations. If the State finds that an individual has neglected or abused an individual receiving community care or misappropriated such individual’s property, the State shall notify the individual against whom the finding is made. A State shall not make a finding that a person has neglected an individual receiving community care if the person demonstrates that such neglect was caused by factors beyond the control of the person. The State shall provide for public disclosure of findings under this paragraph upon request and for inclusion, in any such disclosure of such findings, of any brief statement (or of a clear and accurate summary thereof) of the individual disputing such findings.
Disclosure of results of inspections and activities (A)
Public information Each State, and the Secretary, shall make available to the public—
information respecting all surveys, reviews, and certifications made under this subsection respecting providers of home or community care and community care settings, including statements of deficiencies,
copies of cost reports (if any) of such providers and settings filed under this subchapter,
copies of statements of ownership under section 1320a–3 of this title, and
information disclosed under section 1320a–5 of this title.
Notices of substandard care If a State finds that—
a provider of home or community care has provided care of substandard quality with respect to an individual, the State shall make a reasonable effort to notify promptly (I)
an immediate family member of each such individual and (II)
individuals receiving home or community care from that provider under this subchapter, or
a community care setting is substandard, the State shall make a reasonable effort to notify promptly (I)
individuals receiving community care in that setting, and (II)
immediate family members of such individuals.
Access to fraud control units Each State shall provide its State medicaid fraud and abuse control unit (established under section 1396b
(q) of this title) with access to all information of the State agency responsible for surveys, reviews, and certifications under this subsection.
Enforcement process for providers of community care (1)
State authority (A)
In general If a State finds, on the basis of a review under subsection (i)(2) of this section or otherwise, that a provider of home or community care no longer meets the requirements of this section, the State may terminate the provider’s participation under the State plan and may provide in addition for a civil money penalty. Nothing in this subparagraph shall be construed as restricting the remedies available to a State to remedy a provider’s deficiencies. If the State finds that a provider meets such requirements but, as of a previous period, did not meet such requirements, the State may provide for a civil money penalty under paragraph (2)(A) for the period during which it finds that the provider was not in compliance with such requirements.
Civil money penalty (i)
Each State shall establish by law (whether statute or regulation) at least the following remedy: A civil money penalty assessed and collected, with interest, for each day in which the provider is or was out of compliance with a requirement of this section. Funds collected by a State as a result of imposition of such a penalty (or as a result of the imposition by the State of a civil money penalty under subsection (i)(3)(A) of this section) may be applied to reimbursement of individuals for personal funds lost due to a failure of home or community care providers to meet the requirements of this section. The State also shall specify criteria, as to when and how this remedy is to be applied and the amounts of any penalties. Such criteria shall be designed so as to minimize the time between the identification of violations and final imposition of the penalties and shall provide for the imposition of incrementally more severe penalties for repeated or uncorrected deficiencies.
Deadline and guidance
Each State which elects to provide home and community care under this section must establish the civil money penalty remedy described in clause (i) applicable to all providers of community care covered under this section. The Secretary shall provide, through regulations or otherwise by not later than July 1, 1990, guidance to States in establishing such remedy; but the failure of the Secretary to provide such guidance shall not relieve a State of the responsibility for establishing such remedy.
Secretarial authority (A)
For State providers With respect to a State provider of home or community care, the Secretary shall have the authority and duties of a State under this subsection, except that the civil money penalty remedy described in subparagraph (C) shall be substituted for the civil money remedy described in paragraph (1)(B)(i).
Other providers With respect to any other provider of home or community care in a State, if the Secretary finds that a provider no longer meets a requirement of this section, the Secretary may terminate the provider’s participation under the State plan and may provide, in addition, for a civil money penalty under subparagraph (C). If the Secretary finds that a provider meets such requirements but, as of a previous period, did not meet such requirements, the Secretary may provide for a civil money penalty under subparagraph (C) for the period during which the Secretary finds that the provider was not in compliance with such requirements.
Civil money penalty If the Secretary finds on the basis of a review under subsection (i)(2) of this section or otherwise that a home or community care provider no longer meets the requirements of this section, the Secretary shall impose a civil money penalty in an amount not to exceed $10,000 for each day of noncompliance. The provisions of section 1320a–7a of this title (other than subsections (a) and (b)) shall apply to a civil money penalty under the previous sentence in the same manner as such provisions apply to a penalty or proceeding under section 1320a–7a
(a) of this title. The Secretary shall specify criteria, as to when and how this remedy is to be applied and the amounts of any penalties. Such criteria shall be designed so as to minimize the time between the identification of violations and final imposition of the penalties and shall provide for the imposition of incrementally more severe penalties for repeated or uncorrected deficiencies.
Secretarial responsibilities (1)
Publication of interim requirements (A)
In general The Secretary shall publish, by December 1, 1991, a proposed regulation that sets forth interim requirements, consistent with subparagraph (B), for the provision of home and community care and for community care settings, including—
the requirements of subsection (c)(2) of this section (relating to comprehensive functional assessments, including the use of assessment instruments), of subsection (d)(2)(E) of this section (relating to qualifications for qualified case managers), of subsection (f) of this section (relating to minimum requirements for home and community care), of subsection (g) of this section (relating to minimum requirements for small community care settings), and of subsection (h) of this section (relating to minimum requirements for large community care settings), and
survey protocols (for use under subsection (i)(3)(A) of this section) which relate to such requirements.
Minimum protections Interim requirements under subparagraph (A) and final requirements under paragraph (2) shall assure, through methods other than reliance on State licensure processes, that individuals receiving home and community care are protected from neglect, physical and sexual abuse, financial exploitation, inappropriate involuntary restraint, and the provision of health care services by unqualified personnel in community care settings.
Development of final requirements The Secretary shall develop, by not later than October 1, 1992—
final requirements, consistent with paragraph (1)(B), respecting the provision of appropriate, quality home and community care and respecting community care settings under this section, and including at least the requirements referred to in paragraph (1)(A)(i), and
survey protocols and methods for evaluating and assuring the quality of community care settings.
The Secretary may, from time to time, revise such requirements, protocols, and methods.
No delegation to States The Secretary’s authority under this subsection shall not be delegated to States.
No prevention of more stringent requirements by States Nothing in this section shall be construed as preventing States from imposing requirements that are more stringent than the requirements published or developed by the Secretary under this subsection.
Waiver of Statewideness States may waive the requirement of section 1396a
(a)(1) of this title (related to Statewideness) for a program of home and community care under this section.
Limitation on amount of expenditures as medical assistance (1)
Limitation on amount The amount of funds that may be expended as medical assistance to carry out the purposes of this section shall be for fiscal year 1991, $40,000,000, for fiscal year 1992, $70,000,000, for fiscal year 1993, $130,000,000, for fiscal year 1994, $160,000,000, and for fiscal year 1995, $180,000,000.
Assurance of entitlement to service A State which receives Federal medical assistance for expenditures for home and community care under this section must provide home and community care specified under the Individual Community Care Plan under subsection (d) of this section to individuals described in subsection (b) of this section for the duration of the election period, without regard to the amount of funds available to the State under paragraph (1). For purposes of this paragraph, an election period is the period of 4 or more calendar quarters elected by the State, and approved by the Secretary, for the provision of home and community care under this section.
Limitation on eligibility The State may limit eligibility for home and community care under this section during an election period under paragraph (2) to reasonable classifications (based on age, degree of functional disability, and need for services).
Allocation of medical assistance The Secretary shall establish a limitation on the amount of Federal medical assistance available to any State during the State’s election period under paragraph (2). The limitation under this paragraph shall take into account the limitation under paragraph (1) and the number of elderly individuals age 65 or over residing in such State in relation to the number of such elderly individuals in the United States during 1990. For purposes of the previous sentence, elderly individuals shall, to the maximum extent practicable, be low-income elderly individuals.
