Section 388-106-1470. Are there waiting lists for New Freedom consumer directed services (NFCDS)?  


Latest version.
  • The department will create a waiting list for NFCDS in accordance with caseload limits determined by legislative funding. Participants on the waiting list will gain access in the following order:
    (1) Nursing home residents who are returning home and are assessed for NFCDS waiver services will be ranked first on the waiting list by date of application for services;
    (2) Individuals living in the community with a higher level of need, as determined by the CARE assessment, will be ranked higher on the wait list over participants with a lower level of need; and
    (3) When two or more individuals on the waiting list have equal need levels, the individual with the earlier application for NFCDS will have priority over later applications for services.
