Purpose


The purpose of the amendment to Rule 59G-13.130, F.A.C., is to incorporate by reference the Florida Medicaid Traumatic Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Waiver Services Coverage and Limitations Handbook, July 2012. The handbook includes a revised Prioritization Screening Instrument, AHCA-Med Serv Form 042; clarifies that services cannot be reimbursed through the waiver if they are available through another funding source; updates references for the Medicaid fiscal agent; adds language describing the addition of Medicaid Waiver Specialists to the operating structure of the waiver and identifies their functions; adds language describing Nursing Home Transition activities and the two services added to the waiver to assist individuals with transition from nursing home to community setting; and deletes Appendix A, Traumatic Brain Injury/Spinal Cord Injury Waiver Services Procedure Codes, Reimbursement and Maximum Limits.
