• Personal Services

• Rehabilitation Therapies: Behavioral, Cognitive, Drug and Alcohol Therapy, Physical Therapy, Speech-Language Therapy, and Occupational Therapy

One unit = fifteen minutes

Client Obligation:

If a case manager has assigned client obligation to a particular provider and informed that provider that they are to collect this portion of the cost of service from the client, the provider will not reduce the billed amount on the claim by the client obligation because the liability will automatically be deducted as claims are processed.

Overlapping Dates of Service:

Example:

An electronic Plan of Care has two detail lines items: the first line ends on the 15th of the month and the second line begins on the 16th with and increase of units.

A claim with a line item for services dated 8th thru 16th, will deny because it conflicts with the dates that have been approved on the electronic Plan of Care. At this time the claims system is not able to read two different lines on the Plan of Care for one line on a claim.

For the first detail line item listed above (up to the 15th of the month), any service dates that fall between the 1st and the 15th of that month, will be accepted by the system and not deny because of a conflict in the dates of service.

Services for multiple months should be separated out and each month submitted on a separate claim.

Transitional living skills training will follow a behavioral model with consumers practicing necessary behaviors in life-like situations. Training encompasses activities designed to assist individuals to develop skills in the effective use of community resources, transportation and mobility training, life skills/community living skills training, personal social adjustment, resource acquisition, and recreation/socialization.

TLS follow a model in which individuals practice necessary behaviors in real-life situations. Training should encompass activities designed to assist individuals to develop skills in the effective use of community living skills training, personal social adjustment, resource acquisition, and recreation/socialization skills. TLS are comprehensive in nature, and should therefore address multiple aspects of an individual’s needs and goals to achieve as much independence as possible in a variety of skill areas.

Limitations:

HCBS/TBI services are available to individuals who are Medicaid-eligible and meet the criteria for institutionalization in a HIRF. The eligible individual must meet the following qualifications:

Be a Kansas resident upon receiving services, and for the duration of services.
