Support Coordinators in Hanover are in agreement with the proposed changes.  Many providers provide more than one service to an individual served (community engagement, day support, residential) and have to complete more than one quarterly per person every 90 days. This would allow the provider more time to complete the required documentation.  

Keeping the grace period of 30 days for the Support Coordinator to complete the quarterly is much appreciated. We have a process to track down quarterlies from providers who don't send them in a timely manner and we inform DBHDS Community Resource Consultant of providers who don't send their quarterlies within the time period.

Our only concern would be that even with an extension from 10 to 15 days for the provider, there will continue to be providers who don't send their quarterlies to the Support Coordinator and there is little to no consequence for it.
