Magellan is going with ACES$. Anthem, Optima, Virginia Premier, and United Healthcare will stay with PPL. All individuals that have CL/FIS Waiver, HIPP & EPSDT with no Waiver will be switching to Consumer Direct Care Network (CDCN).

There are no changes for existing Aetna members after 1/1/19.

Personal Care is Now Under EPSDT for Individuals Under 21 In a Medicaid memo, it states, starting September 1, 2018, individuals under the age of 21 that are enrolled in the CCC Plus Waiver, must receive personal care, private duty nursing, and assistive technology through the Early Periodic Screening and Diagnostic Treatment (EPSDT) benefit. This change is being made to comply with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) requirement that certain Medicaid funded services for individuals under the age of 21 be accessed through the EPSDT benefit in lieu of a 1915 (c) Home and Community Based Services waiver. Since Personal Care has been moved under EPSDT (a Medicaid program, not a waiver program), that will no longer be a Waiver service. Because of this, you will need to have at least one other service in addition to EPSDT personal care hours. Respite meets that requirement for most, but if you do not receive respite hours you will need to make sure you are using another waiver service. Some examples of other services are: Adult Day Health Care Assistive Technology Environmental Modifications Medication Monitoring Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) Private Duty Nursing Services Respite Care Skilled and Intermediate (custodial) nursing facility or long stay hospital Transition Services (moving into the community and out of a nursing facility) Resources: Read more in Moms In Motion’s Special Edition Newsletter. Blank DMAS-7 form and an example of a filled out DMAS-7. Tips: It’s your responsibility to make sure the DMAS-7 is received on time to your Moms In Motion Service Facilitator. A specialist cannot complete the DMAS-7, it needs to be filled out by a pediatrician, developmental pediatrician, or a primary care physician. It is important that the doctor fills out the form properly! HERE IS A SAMPLE DMAS-7 that is already filled out that you can show to your doctor to guide them. If you already have an authorization in place for Respite, you can use your respite hours until your personal care hours are authorized in order to bridge any sort of gap. Without the DMAS-7 from the doctor there may be a delay in approval of authorizations and/or attendants may not be paid on time. It is important for parents to advocate to their doctor what supports their child needs, so no attendant hours are lost. Three New Services Added to the Developmental Disabilities Waivers Effective September 1, 2018, three new services are available under the Developmental Disabilities Medicaid Waiver program as stated in a Medicaid Memo. These new services can be utilized on the three types of DD Waiver which are, Building Independence (BI), Family and Individual Supports (FIS) and Community Living (CL). Read an extensive services and supports DD Waiver comparison guide in a previous Moms In Motion Newsletter. The new services are: Community Guide There are two categories of Community Guides, General Community Guide and The Housing Guide. Community Guide Services include direct assistance to promote an individuals’ self-determination through using community resources that lead to connection to and independent participation in integrated, independent housing or community activities. Housing supports will assist an individual move to independent housing by helping with transition and tenancy sustaining activities. The community housing guide will collaborate with the support coordinator, regional housing specialist, and others to enable the individual achieve and sustain integrated, independent living. Peer Mentoring Peer Mentor Supports provide information, resources, guidance, and support from an experienced, trained peer mentor to an individual receiving any of the three DD Waivers. Peer mentoring is delivered by individuals with developmental disabilities who are or have received services, and have shared experiences with the individual. Peer mentors will provide support and guidance. The service is designed to foster connections and relationships which build individual resilience. Peer mentors will share their successful strategies and experiences in navigating a broad range of community resources with individuals. Peer Mentor Supports may be authorized for up to six (6) consecutive months, and the cumulative total across that time frame may be no more than 60 hours in a plan year. Benefits Planning Benefits planning is an individualized analysis and consultation service provided to assist individuals receiving DD Waiver services and Social Security benefits (SSI, SSDI, SSI/SSDI) to understand their benefits and explore the possibility of work, to start work, and the effect of work on local, state, and federal benefits. This service includes education and analysis about current benefits status and implementation and management of state and federal work incentives. This service results in the development of written resource documents to assist individuals and their families/legal representatives to better understand the current and future benefits of employment. This Benefits Planning service also provides information and education to working individuals to make successful transition to financial independence.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded $98.5 million to 285 public housing authorities across the U.S. to provide new, permanent affordable housing vouchers to nearly 12,000 non-elderly people with disabilities. The housing assistance is provided through HUD’s Section 811 Mainstream Housing Choice Voucher Program which provides funding to housing agencies to assist non-elderly people with disabilities who are: transitioning out of institutional or other separated settings; at serious risk of institutionalization; homeless; or at risk of becoming homeless. This program helps to further the goals of the Americans with Disabilities Act by helping persons with disabilities live in the most integrated setting. The program also encourages partnerships with health and human service agencies with a demonstrated capacity to coordinate voluntary services and supports to enable individuals to live independently in the community. 2018 Awarded Housing Vouchers Listed by State Related News Article from November 12, 2018: A ‘game changer’ Proposed Medicaid benefit would cover housing services The VT Autism Clinic and Center for Autism Research’s Mobile Autism Clinic The Center’s newest outreach initiative is housed in a 29-foot RV that will expand more Autism services into several counties within Central Appalachia. The mission of the Virginia Tech Autism Clinic/Center for Autism Research/Mobile Autism Clinic (VTAC/CAR/MAC) is to merge science with service. The MAC will be equipped with computers, internet access, and video recording equipment, and will offer space to conduct parent/family mediated interventions for Autism. Regular visits to these communities by Center faculty and staff in the MAC will provide parents and caregivers with trainings on evidence-based treatment, with the goal being to empower families with additional skills on how to better support their children with Autism. The MAC focuses specifically on under-served areas of rural Appalachia in further Southwest Virginia. The Mobile Autism Clinic alternates locations on Friday afternoons, spending one in Galax, Virginia and the other in Marion, Virginia. Overview of MAC services: Treatment services for Autism Spectrum Disorder are based on a variety of empirically supported intervention techniques. All services are provided by graduate student clinicians in the Department of Psychology at Virginia Tech, supervised by a licensed clinical psychologist. Individualized treatment approaches are developed for each child/family based on evidence-based behavioral strategies from Applied Behavior Analysis, developmental approaches, and Pivotal Response Treatment. Some common themes clinicians work on are social skills, challenging behaviors, managing anxiety, stress and/or anger management and various parent trainings. They are now offering diagnostic evaluations for those who are suspected to have Autism Spectrum Disorder. Treatment Sessions in the MAC: The initial session is an hour and a half intake with parent/caregiver(s) and child. Future appointments may be for the parent/caregiver only or may include the child, depending on needs of the family and goals that have been discussed with the clinician. They currently use a therapy/consultation model where we will meet with the family (parent/caregiver and/or child) in-person once per month for therapy/training sessions and then continue the discussion via pre-arranged phone/Skype consultation meetings in between the MAC visits. The goal is to empower caregivers/parents with skills they can use for the long term at home. Each family session is currently $15, and less for phone consultation meetings. Parent/caregiver needs to bring documentation, evaluations, etc. to the initial intake appointment. Diagnostic Evaluations in the MAC: Diagnostic evaluations/assessments for Autism Spectrum Disorder range from 3 to 9 hours, depending on what is requested or needed. They use gold-standard evidence-based tools for conducting diagnostic evaluations. Fees for diagnostic evaluations/assessments are determined on a sliding scale, based on family income. The VT Autism Clinic and Center for Autism Research look forward to hosting their Annual Autism Conference on Friday, April 26, 2019 in Blacksburg at the Inn at Virginia Tech.

A respite caregiver is a person who takes over when the primary caregiver takes a break. As a parent raising a child with a disability, you might find that “me time” is more fantasy than reality. Sure, you’d love some time to yourself, or one-on-one time with a spouse, partner, friend, or another child. When your child has special needs, handing over responsibility can be a real challenge. You might feel as if you are the only person who can do the job, and doubt that anyone else could meet all of your child’s needs. But remember, you’re not superhuman. There’s only so much you can give before you will feel mentally, emotionally, and physically drained. When you take time off to recharge, you’ll be able to give more and enjoy doing it. …Your child will benefit too! Respite care provides parents and other caregivers with short-term personal care services that offer temporary relief, improve family stability, and reduce the risk of abuse or neglect. You may also find that just a few hours away can make a world of difference to your health and outlook. Respite comes in many shapes and sizes, here are two articles that feature respite services in Virginia: Area nonprofit offers retreats for parents of special-needs children Caregiver respite inn to open in New Market You may be able to look up your respite hours in your MCOs fiscal agent web portal. Please ask your Moms In Motion Service Facilitator how you can access your respite hours!
