B-2: Individual Cost Limit (2 of 2)

2. Method of Implementation of the Individual Cost Limit. When an individual cost limit is specified in Item B-2-a, specify the procedures that are followed to determine in advance of waiver entrance that the individual's health and welfare can be assured within the cost limit:
   Character Count: out of 12000

If the team determines that the initial allocation is insufficient to meet the individual’s needs, the team submits a request for utilization review to the PRAT for consideration. The PRAT determines if a higher funding amount is justified. If approved, the participant will complete enrollment in the Comprehensive waiver and the Individual Plan is processed for service authorizations to initiate services. If the PRAT does not approve the higher funding request, the individual is provided opportunity to informally negotiate a resolution and is simultaneously notified of his/her fair hearing rights as a result of being denied enrollment in the DDS Comprehensive waiver.

   The State DDS uses a priority system to select individuals for entrance to the DDS waivers. The DDS utilizes a Priority Checklist that incorporates findings from the Level of Needs Assessment and Risk Screening Tool and collects findings on additional questions pertaining to individual and caregiver status. The system assigns the individual to one of three categories, either an Emergency, a Priority 1 or a Planning status as a result of the screening tools. Those identified as an Emergency require services immediately and are given first priority to the appropriate waiver program when slots are available. The Priority 1 group are those individuals identified as needing services within one year. Those with elderly caregivers (age 65 and above) are given priority within the Priority 1 sub-set. Other than individuals with emergency status and those with elderly caregivers, applicants with a Priority 1 status are managed on a first come, first served basis. Individuals who are dissatisfied with their priority assignment (E, P1, or Planning) may request in writing to the Commissioner of DDS a Fair Hearing pursuant to sub-section (e), section 17a-210, C.G.S., and/or, may initiate an informal dispute resolution process, Programmatic Administrative Review (PAR) set forth in DMR Policy 7 (1986). Individuals who request a PAR may also request a Fair Hearing at any time.
