COMMENTS ON ELECTRONIC HOME BASED SUPPORTS (EHBS) IN THE DD WAIVER MANUAL CHAPTER IV
 

COMMENTS ON ELECTRONIC HOME BASED SUPPORTS (EHBS) IN THE DD WAIVER MANUAL CHAPTER IV 

PG. 61

 

DD Manual, IV pg. 61

Only one unit of service is only appropriate for equipment or items that are delivered once. Services that include ongoing monitoring and other supports delivered electronically occur periodically and routinely as needed by the individual, similar to therapeutic consultation. Please consider separating administration of EHBS coverage of equipment from EHBS coverage of services to allow for appropriate and compliant service authorization and billing for ongoing services.
