2) Request for Variance to allow 1 elderly person to continue living in the

Discussion followed with many questions and information regarding the different living
situations that variances will be needed; future impact this will have on variance
requests; the effects of the limit of 25% of Budget going to the care of persons in
facilities.
The possibility of having the Chair decide on variance requests, but after the
discussion on these requests, Item #5 on the agenda is withdrawn by Lockwood.

WSSA Resolution - Not available yet, will be discussed at next meeting.
CIP 1a & 1b Case Management Reimbursement - Currently if CIP1 a & CIP1 b clients
are in the hospital or any facility greater than 15 beds, case management done during
that time is not billable to either MA or Waiver Programs. Currently if CIP2 or COPW
clients are in the hospital or any facility greater than 15 beds, case management done
the 30 days prior to discharge is billable to waiver as discharge planning. This is also
true of Medical Assistance clients. Quite often this is a time when the amount of time
being put in by the social worker to coordinate services upon discharge can be quite
large, therefore, this committee would like to see a change made in the CIP1 a/CIP1 b
policy to be the same as for CIP2/COPW.
Motion by Viellieux for this committee to recommend to state/federal government to
change policy for CIP1 a&CIP1 b case management time to be treated the same as
CIP2&COPW. Discussion followed; Motion withdrawn by Viellieux.
