Is it possible to add the specific language to the CCC Plus waiver manual, Chapter 4, which was provided by the cccpluswaiver@dmas.virginia.gov email address to the section on initial assessments by the agency RN  (starting on page 10)?

The specific language is:

“The assessment by the RN must be done in the home.  The RN need to access the surroundings and since they will be receiving care in the home, this is where the assessment need to be done.  RN need to assess what the member need in the home and complete the plan of care based on needs of member in the home.”

Currently there is no specific requirement that the initial agency (RN) assessment be done in the home. Thank you for your consideration.
