Currently procedures relating to the crisis enrollment of eligible person with developmental disabilities in the Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services waiver in are included in the Florida Medicaid Developmental Disabilities Waiver Services Coverage & Limitations Handbook, incorporated by reference in Rule 59G-13-080, F.A.C. During the 2006 legislative session (ch. 2006-227, Laws of Florida), Section 393.065, Florida Statutes, was amended to authorize the Agency for Persons with Disabilities to promulgate rules relating to crisis enrollment for waiver services. The purpose of the proposed rule development is to adopt rule providing a procedure for persons with developmental disabilities to be considered for enrollment on a Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services waiver if the applicant demonstrates an immediate need for services. The proposed rule development will address procedures for requesting crisis enrollment, the criteria for assessment, and for approving or denying waiver enrollment.
