Overview

RULE:

Service Provider Registration and Quality Assurance Requirements

PURPOSE:

The rule amendment provides updates to forms incorporated by reference for fee-for-service providers.

SUMMARY:

Forms incorporated by reference are edited as follows:
1. Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Fee-for-Service Provider Application was updated to include a description of services for applicants to complete. Reference requirements were also revised to require two letters of professional reference for new businesses with no former clients of reference. Additionally, the revised application states the Division has the right to reject an application and does not guarantee referrals. 
2. The Programmatic Operations Resource Guide (PORG) was updated to remove Career Camp virtual services, created during the COVID-19 pandemic; adds timeframes for providers to revise Career Camp curriculum and flyers required by the Division; permits the Division to deny curriculum for Career Camps; changes the submission of Career Camp curriculum from three years to one year; allows the Division to request updated Career Camp curriculum at any time and/or rescind approval; and deletes language that amendments to Career Camp curriculum will not be accepted from a provider. Fee codes were also removed, as they are no longer applicable. Minor edits were made throughout the PORG for grammatical and editing errors.   
3. Vocational Rehabilitation Fee-for-Service Provider Contractual Agreement was updated to add Youth Peer Mentoring as a service; clarifies the specific Rule applicable for confidentiality of client information; adds reference to Section 215.422, Florida Statutes, regarding the approval and inspection of goods and services; and corrects grammatical and formatting errors.
