CSC Comments
 
  • We have concerns about the requirement for a high number of licensed staff. It will be difficult to fill these positions.
  • We have concerns with the limit of access to other evidence-based services.  We want individuals to get the services they need early in the course of illness and not limit them to CSC.
  • We have received guidance that the CANS Lifetime for adults won't be available until after the go-live date of this redesign.  What guidance does DMAS have for meeting this requirement?
  • Can the service provider use Emergency Services to meet the requirement for 24-hour crisis support?
    • This question comes from our difficulty understanding the crisis support requirements.  In item 3.9, 2., it states that crisis mitigation plans shall not include use of or referral to Comprehensive Crisis and Transition Services.
