Not Just For Support Coordinators!
Resources= Empowerment
We are here to help support coordinators, providers, families, & self advocates.

Every person that gets on the Florida medicaid waiver program receives a service
called Support Coordination, which is a form of case management. Support
Coordinators assist individuals and their families to access supports and
services on their own.

This site provides easy access to many valuable resources.

> 


> NEWS FROM AARON NANGLE

> QUESTION: WHAT IS SUPPORT COORDINATION?
> 
> Answer: "Support coordination is the service of advocating, identifying,
> developing, coordinating and accessing supports and services on behalf of a
> recipient, or assisting the recipient or family to access supports and
> services on their own. These services may be provided through waiver and
> Medicaid State Plan services, as well as needed medical, social, educational,
> other appropriate services, and community resources regardless of the funding
> source through which access is gained."

> QUESTION: HOW DO I BECOME A SUPPORT COORDINATOR?
> 
> Answer: When you are ready to become a provider, Call WaiverProvider.com at
> 727-841-8943. We can provide you with ALL of the information and documents you
> need to make this happen. We can provide you with the tools to start your own
> company or work for an agency.

> QUESTION: WHAT DOCUMENTS NEED TO BE IN THE FILE BEFORE I BILL?
> 
> Answer: The following Documents must be current, and filed in the central
> record PRIOR to billing. The support coordinator is responsible for completing
> these forms and reports.
> 
>  * Support Plan
>  * Personal Outcomes Measures " Ended on May 2010"
>    
>  * The Department Approved Assessment "QSI is now done by the APD staff."
>  * Waiver Eligibility Worksheet
>  * Approved Cost Plan
>  * Service Authorizations For All Approved Services
>  * Progress Notes.

> WHAT ARE THE MINIMUM CONTACT REQUIREMENTS
> 
> Answer: The following is a list of minimum contacts required for billing. All
> contacts must be documented by progress notes.
> 
>  * At least two billable contacts must be made each month, documented by
>    progress notes.
>  * Home Visits are required every three months for people living in group
>    homes, and every six months for people living in family homes.
>    
>  * Face-To-Face Visits are required every month for people living in group
>    homes, and every three months for people living in family homes.
> 
> The Developmental Disabilities Waiver Services Coverage and Limitations
> Handbook states, " Waiver support coordinators should not assume that meeting
> the basic billing requirements will necessarily result in a successful
> monitoring review and approval to continue services."
> 
> Children that live in family homes and are under the age of 18 receive what is
> called limited Support Coordination. This requires only one contact per month.
> Two of the visits per year must be done face to face.

> QUESTION: WHAT IS A BILLABLE CONTACT?
> 
> Answer: In order for a contact to be billable, one of the following most
> occur:
> 
>  * Help the person to reach support plan goals and/or personal outcomes.
>  * Monitor health and well being
>    
>  * Help the person get needed resources.
>  * Help the person get involved in the community.
>  * Assist with advocacy and choice.
>  * Discuss concerns, and follow up on those concerns

> QUESTION: WHAT ELSE DO I HAVE TO DO?
> 
> Answer: The Developmental Disabilities Waiver Services Coverage and
> Limitations Handbook has twelve pages of rules and requirements for support
> coordination. Listed below are just a few of those "Other" requirements.
> Support coordinators are expected to meet the needs of the recipient’s
> receiving services; regardless of the number of contacts it takes to meet
> those needs.
> 
>  * Be on Call 24-7, with a back up support coordinator available when you can
>    not be reached.
>  * Help the person become as independent as possible- educate people about
>    community involvement, independent living, and employment options.
>    
>  * Connect the person with natural resources. The support coordinator should
>    make every effort to assist a person to use free/natural resources, rather
>    than paid waiver services.
>  * Monitor the performance and compliance of paid supports. The support
>    coordinator should get all required documentation from providers, and file
>    them in the central record.
>  * Amendments to the persons support plan and cost plan, as needed.
>  * Help the person find providers that meet his/her needs.
>  * Help the person keep their medicaid, and if they lose it, assist them with
>    getting it back.
>  * Make sure the person is getting needed medical treatments, particularly if
>    they live in a group home or in their own home with supported living.
