12 VAC 35-105 Regulation concerns
 

The proposed licensing change does not align with the regulations set by DMAS regarding ID/DD case management documentation. Per DMAS guidelines, the Support Coordinator (SC) is permitted a 30-day grace period to complete the person-centered review (quarterly). In addition, providers are allowed a 10-day window (within the 30 day period) to complete and submit their provider QRs to the SC. The SC is responsible for obtaining, reviewing and incorporating all provider quarterlies into the person-centered review. The proposed licensing regulation would not allow the SC time to obtain the needed documentation from external providers and complete the person-centered review within the required timeframe. The recommendation would be for the licensing regulation to align with the DMAS regulations to allow a 30-day window to complete the person-centered review.
