Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) To receive payment, each adult foster
				  care provider must send a completed purchase voucher for adult foster care
				  providers form to DHS for each month the foster care client lives in the home.
				  The daily rate paid to adult foster care providers is $11.75; after September
				  1, 1996, the daily rate paid to adult foster care providers is
				  $13.64.
(b) Enrollment of an adult
				  foster home means that the home is meeting all standards or appropriate waivers
				  have been obtained.
(c) The
				  caseworker, with supervisory approval, may disenroll an adult foster home if
				  the provider is not able to care for the client(s) because of health reasons.
				  The provider is required to submit, when requested by the department, a
				  physician's statement that he is physically and mentally able to continue
				  providing personal care and 24-hour supervision.
(d) Adult foster care providers may be
				  disenrolled for noncompliance with the minimum standards for adult foster care
				  or other program rules. Adult foster care providers and applicants have a right
				  to appeal the decision to not approve their application to be a provider or to
				  disenroll the home. The administrative law judge is the department employee
				  appointed to preside over the hearing.

				  pays the daily rate for up to 14 days of leave for each 12-consecutive-month
				  period when an authorized client is away from the foster home. Payment for
				  leave in excess of 14 days per year is the responsibility of the client. Any
				  bedhold charges are between the client and provider because they have
				  negotiated a monthly room and board agreement. Bedhold charges, however, may
				  not exceed the daily room and board rate.
(g) The adult foster care provider is
				  responsible for notifying the caseworker when a client is away from the foster
				  home for personal leave or hospitalization.
