DD Waiver Regs
 
12VAC-30-122-30 B References the Elderly and Disabled Waiver and the Technology Assisted waiver, neither of which exist.  
12VAC30-122-180 E. 4 The regulations state that new hires have to complete competencies in 180 days.  Is this the same requirement for supporting individual with a Leve 6 or 7?    
12-VAC30-122-190 A.6 Support Coordinators shall conduct and document a minimum of quarterly visits to all other individuals at least one annually occurring in the home.   It used to be that we alternate visits occurring in the home.

Also asking for consistency between 90 day visit, 3 month visit and quarterly visit
12-VAC30-122-120 A. 14 Why do you report APS issues to DARS?  This is a potential HIPAA concern.
12VAC30-50-440 E.3.  Qualifications for support coordinators for individuals with Intellectual disability are inconsistent with qualifications for support coordinators for individuals with a Developmental Disability listed in 12VAC30-50-490. E.6 

There is no mention of requiring a degree to provide services.  
12VAC30-50-440 E.3.b.2, 6 Clarification regarding what the expectation is for #2 Negotiating with individuals and service providers & #6 Coordinating the provision of services by diverse public & private providers. 
12VAC30-50-490 A. This definition of the "Target group" needs to be clarified, as, by itself it does not exclude individuals with Intellectual Disabilities.  Additionally, if that is indeed the intended definition, are we to then assume that all sections below 12VAC30-50-490 and up to 12VAC30-122 apply only to individuals without a diagnosis of Intellectual Disability?

Based on the definition, those under the age of 6 are excluded, does this mean those with DD under six cannot receive Waiver/be on Waitlist?
