Currently procedures relating to the crisis enrollment of eligible person with developmental disabilities in the Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services waiver 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 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.
