N.J. Admin. Code § 10:49-22.1

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 19, October 7, 2024
Section 10:49-22.1 - Introduction
(a) Home and Community-Based Services Waivers are five-year, renewable Federal waiver programs, prepared by the Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services in response to the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981 ( Section 2176, Public Law 97-35 and amendments under P.L. 99-509). These Home and Community-Based Services Waivers are submitted to the CMS of the United States Department of Health and Human Services. The purpose of these programs is to help eligible individuals remain in the community, or return to the community, rather than be cared for in a nursing facility or hospital setting.
(b) Retroactive eligibility is not available to waiver program beneficiaries; no waiver service received prior to the date of enrollment shall be considered for reimbursement.
(c) Total program costs are restricted by limits on the number of community care slots and on per-person costs. The case manager is responsible for the development of the service plan with the client/family, with input from provider agencies, and for monitoring the cost of the service package.
