Home and Community Based Waiver for the Frail Elderly Amendment: New Service Level 4 for Augmented Personal Care
The Augmented
Personal Care (APC) Service is available to Frail Elderly (FE) Waiver
recipients residing at a licensed residential facility for groups or assisted
living. A new 4th Service Level of Care was authorized for
behaviorally complex recipients receiving services under the APC.
The Centers
for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requires that
states obtain public input for a waiver amendment in accordance with 42 CFR
441.304(f). The DHCFP requests public comment regarding the amendment due to
the addition of the new Service Level 4 definition and qualifications; and
correction to the number of legislatively approved waiver slots.
