Notice of Proposed Rule

Department:

DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES

Division:

Mental Health Program

Chapter:

COMMUNITY SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES - FINANCIAL RULES

Overview

RULE:

65E-14.021

Schedule of Covered Services

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this rulemaking is to amend four specific regulatory elements.  This rulemaking will revise the Measurement Standard applicable to subparagraph (4)(f) Crisis Support/Emergency; revise the Measurement Standard applicable to subparagraph (4)(m) In-Home and On-Site; revise the Annualized Standard Units applicable to subparagraph (4)(i) Drop-in/Self help Centers; and incorporate revised form CF-MH  1045, Feb 2015, Program Description.  The effect of revising the Measurement Standards will be to permit a broader range of programmatically appropriate allowable activities for those services.  The effect of revising the Annualized Standard Units will be to align a pre-existing exception to the correct measurement standard applicable to the service.  The effect of revising the form will be to clarify the distinction between Department-funded service data elements and non-Department-funded service data elements reported in the form.  The regulations addressing these elements, as amended on July 27, 2014, have been identified by agencies subject to this rule as creating unintended regulatory burdens during implementation.

SUMMARY:

This rulemaking  amends: 1) the Measurement Standards applicable to the Crisis Support/Emergency and In-Home and On-Site Covered Services,  2) a pre-existing exception to the Annualized Standard Units applicable to Drop-in/Self help Centers, and 3)  the elimination of unnecessary references to “Medicaid services” and adoption of the already defined term “Covered Service” in sections of Form CF-MH 1045.
