Care Manager Training - Training for 1915(i) Service Providers

Care Manager Training on the Alignment of 1915(i) Eligibility and Care Plan/ISP to Members’ Birth Month

The Department has elected to align the 1915(i) Eligibility Timelines and the Care Plan/ISP with Members' birth months to minimize any disruption in their receipt of 1915(i) services. The plan for this approach has been reviewed with your organization's Care Management Leadership on multiple occasions for input and awareness. This approach will enable care managers more effectively plan for and manage 1915(i) assessment and Care Plan or ISP deadlines across multiple members. The change to birth month planning will ensure predictability for annual 1915(i) reassessments and an annual Care Plan or ISP completion. A member's birth month will determine when their Care Plans/ISPs and assessments expire, providing greater predictability for Health Plans and 1915(i) providers. Under this model, each Care Plan/ISP becomes effective the month after the member's birth month, and the care plan's end date is always the last day of the member's birth month. For example, a member with a January birthday will have a Care Plan/ISP effective February 1, with an end date of January 31 the following year. Similarly, a member with a July birthday will have an August 1 effective date and an end date of July 31 the following year.
